Not with Trinity. See above.

TQt intergration.
I think it would be better to get a new plugin into LibreOffice before the
KDE3 one is dropped, as this will avoid the whole unpleasantness that goes
along with trying to re-add a dropped component (and many times prevents
the new component from being included in the upstream project). It would
also minimize the impact to users, who theoretically could end up without
Trinity integration for at least one LibreOffice release cycle.

Thinking about this some more, I wonder if we can take ownership of the
old KDE3 plugin and just rename it/patch it upstream. That would probably
be easiest and produce a minimal amount of work for both us and
LibreOffce.
The downside, of course, is that KDE3 support for versions <= 3.5.10 would
be removed.
Why do you want to break it? I will dig around in the build system a bit as I
have time
and see what can be done.
Is something needs to be done actually if all works well?
