Which interface is that?

That's just a modal dialog - you can easily create one yourself
without being confined to QMessageBox.

Why?

Do you have a collection of messagebox objects and your new
graphics-item-message-boxes and want to treat them all the same using
polymorphism?

Would anyone ever create a whole bunch of QMessageBox objects and keep
them in a list for a long time?  (I thought the point of QMessageBox
was that it's a throw-away object - you create it, show it, get
response from user, then you delete it).

I don't know what exactly you are doing, but it seems like a
code/design smell (unless I have completely misunderstood you).
