By "native widgets", do you mean "using one native window per widget", the 
opposite of the "alien" project?

Are you even sure that mode of operation even works in Qt 5? During the QPA 
port of 5.0, we might have lost that ability and it shows in the API you've 
found.

In any case, each non-top-level QWidget has a link to the top level window 
(TLW) it's connected to and stores state there.
