Hey,

Apologies for the late answer - forgot about this after my holidays.

There isn't a way to do this, but there's a (rather old) issue about it:

Sounds tricky. You could use some kind of wrapper which sends a
:session-save command to qutebrowser with a temporary filename, waits
for the file to appear, checks whether about:blank is active there, and
if so, sends an :open command instead of normally passing the URL as an
argument.

Quite hacky, though.
