gnome-boxes is open source, you can check how it does that. Did you try it?
There is also moVirt, for android. Also open source.

Did you check this one? Not only open-source, but also short and simple...
^ yes, this is effectively what you need. There is no direct vm console connection via hypervisors because we use a time-limited access ticket. Using that py example above, you should be able to create a shell script wrapper that gets you the ticket and launches remote-viewer.
If you don't want to use the the ticket system, you could install VNC on your VMs individually and just vnc connect to <vm>:5900, outside the scope of oVirt pretty much. This is how we treat RDP for Windows.
