Layout HTML items, HTML annotations and Resource Widget with integrated viewer all depend on QtWebkit, and will not be ported to QtWebEngine for the foreseeable future.

QtWebEngine seems targeted at the simple use case of an integrated web page viewer, vs QtWebkit which has a much more powerful API. Specifically, the big blocker is that QtWebkit allows rendering of webpages AS VECTORS onto a QPainter. Last I checked (maybe ~6 months ago) discussion at Qt channels was that this was non-trivial/impossible to implement in QtWebEngine and was not being actively worked on.
