All QR flights from SWP and the current QF LHR flights already could be considered 3 continent trips. The Middle East is defined as part of Europe by the fare rules. QF1/2/9/10 (until March 24) and all QR flights to AU/NZ bypass Asia. Asia is not "touched" by said flights, but is still counted for ticketing. QR PER-DOH and the coming QF PER-LHR are both considered SWP-Europe non stop flights.
The old AA non stop flights to India were considered transatl and bypassed Europe. Europe was skipped on the trip, yet was still counted for ticketing.
actually, i believe such a fare exists, and whether the OP questions allow it or not is written explicitly in the farerule.
