Possibly something like SessionManager::projects() + project->id() (which is more a type ID)

This data source gather information about compilers, platforms, target platforms, debuggers, etc used by a QtC user. I've found ProjectExplorer Namespace documentation (https://doc-snapshots.qt.io/qtcreator-extending/projectexplorer.html#namespaces) with classes which contains this information however documentation is still very poor and there are very many classes so it is not quite clear which one to use, how to use and how they are connected to each other. So question is:
