Not even that.

The required condition is that someone figure out how to provide a meta object 
to template classes. The current solution would require installing the file 
generated by moc, #include'ing it from your class's header file, and modifying 
the internal format heavily (i.e., a Qt 6.0 task).

This is unlikely to change in the current C++ language. If you want templated 
QObjects, please join SG7 discussion group in isocpp.org and help define 
reflection for C++. Then hopefully Qt will be able to use this feature in the 
early 2020s.
