I agree with Ian, you can just make functions on your model Q_INVOKABLE, or
you can get your model to listen to signals from your QML items
(delegates). The more you can handle on the C++ side, the easier it'll be
for you. That stuff is discussed a bit in this DevDays talk, but it's
mostly about TreeViews specifically and probably more than you need:

Hope that helps,
