The parser is implemented in
https://code.qt.io/cgit/qt/qtdeclarative.git/tree/src/qml/qmldirparser/qqmldirparser.cpp?h=dev


I would say that this is not possible at the moment. You can try to add this
to the parser, it should be very simple. If you are lucky, the resolveType()
functions in qqmlimport.cpp already handle internal composite singletons
correctly. I have taken a look at it and am quite optimistic that this is
the case. If not, you will have to fight your way through these functions in
qqmlimport.cpp.

Note that the "internal" keyword belongs into directory listing qmldir files
(those without version numbers), while the singleton keyword is only
documented for module qmldir files (those with version numbers). However,
singleton works in both variants, which is not documented. Maybe worth a bug
report as well.

This is not a qualified answer ;-)
