How to pack images in Qt resource to be accessible from a static HTML resource

Question

I have a Qt Widgets project that employs QWebEngineView to show a static HTML page. That page will show an image that needs to be "packed" with the Qt executable/installer. Can I use the QRC file to add an image and refer to it from the HTML file?

I (pathetically) tried to access the image using the "qrc:/image..." notation, but I understand perfectly that the QWebEngineView shows an embedded browser that have no relation to the project's resources. An alternative way?

For Qt 5.6 in main.cpp:

...
QString helpHTMLFile = QStandardPaths::writableLocation(QStandardPaths::TempLocation);
helpHTMLFile.append(QDir::separator());
helpHTMLFile.append("index.html");
QFile(helpHTMLFile).remove();
QFile(":/index.html").copy(helpHTMLFile);

QQmlApplicationEngine engine;
engine.rootContext()->setContextProperty("pathToFile", "file:///"+helpHTMLFile);

QString logo = QStandardPaths::writableLocation(QStandardPaths::TempLocation);
logo.append(QDir::separator());
logo.append("logo.svg");
QFile(logo).remove();
QFile(":/logo.svg").copy(logo);
...

In html:

...
<img src="logo.svg" class="loginFooterImg">
