Do you mean QMimeData::retrieveData() ;) ?
If so, do you know any implementation using it, with constant time/memory cost

I am asking because by "on demand" term above I mean that the data provider 
only formats and sends the data when the receiver requests it (unlike with 
typical copying of, say, rich text).
