Uhm, you don't access that file. You access the projects configuration.
And all changes done will be written to the local file. This way using
remote projects is completely transparent for the plugins.

I'm pretty sure QMake won't do this, its a manager on top of a
buildsystem, so all I provide is what the buildsystem provides. Anyway,
I do agree this might be useful, no objections from my side adding it to
ProjectBaseItem.
