It is possible. Just connect that signal (to a slot in NetAccess), buffer the items there
(i.e. append to the list defined in the Private object) - and return that list when done.

Sounds like you won't have several NetAccess things running at the same
time, so you should be safe. The other problem is blocking the user interface
if the server or the network is very slow...
