[Interest] How to determine whether QML item is anchored?

You might want to check the state since you use the state to change the anchors. You could add objectName or another property to your state to check your condition.
property bool isAnchors: myObj.states.find(function(s){ return s.name == myObj.state; }).myPropertyBool;
State
{
property bool myPropertyBool: true // put true when you need it
}
Not sure if the Anchors is an attachement object, not sure you can probe it directly unless you seek into the Object children to find Attachment object of any kind, else you might want to check if you can reach the anchors property:
property bool isAnchors: fetchAnchors(myObj)
function fetchAnchors(o)
{
return o && o.anchors && o.anchors.top; // anchors cannot be null, only undefined, so the if value should work
}

But I wanted to query anchors at runtime once too, a few years ago; I think I’ve forgotten why.

Of course introducing change handler allows to track moment of anchoring (although still no way to track un-anchoring), but this is a bit ugly and not 'Qt-way'.
