    qml->setContextProperty("app", this);
    
    AbstractPane *root = qml->createRootNode<AbstractPane>();
    Application::setScene(root);

App::launchBrowser(QString url)

Yes, this code snippet does work.
Thanks.

You would need an bb::cascades::Invocation object in your App for this to work. This is most likely used in the bps/navigator.h file which is not shown here. The correct way to do this would be

#include <bb/cascades/Invocation>
#include <bb/csacades/InvokeQuery>

bb::cascades::Invocation *m_invoker;
m_invoker = bb::cascades::Invocation::create(
    bb::cascades::InvokeQuery()
    .loc("http://google.com")
    .mimetype("text/plain")
    .parent(this));
connect(m_invoker, SIGNAL(armed()), this, SLOT(onInvokerArmed()));

void ThisClass::onInvokerArmed() {
    m_invoker->trigger("bb.action.OPEN");
}
