It acts kinda like a combo box, but better for really long lists. The whole assembly works properly in regular data entry screens.  Clicking on button or list changes values in the line edit field.

This works fine:

#include <QtWidgets>

class CellWidget : public QWidget
{
public:
    CellWidget()
    {
        QLineEdit *le = new QLineEdit;
        QToolButton *tb = new QToolButton;
        QMenu *toolMenu = new QMenu;
        toolMenu->addAction(new QAction("Action 1", this));
        toolMenu->addAction(new QAction("Action 2", this));
        toolMenu->addAction(new QAction("Action 3", this));
        tb->setPopupMode(QToolButton::InstantPopup);
        tb->setMenu(toolMenu);

        QHBoxLayout *hbox = new QHBoxLayout;
        hbox->addWidget(le);
        hbox->addWidget(tb);
        setContentsMargins(0, 0, 0, 0);
        hbox->setContentsMargins(0, 0, 0, 0);

        setLayout(hbox);
    }

    QSize minimumSizeHint() const { return QSize(100, 100); }
};

int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
    QApplication app(argc, argv);

    QTableWidget table(10, 10);
    table.setCellWidget(5, 5, new CellWidget);

    table.show();

    return app.exec();
}
