The problem is not that the project change, it's that there are many
projects open at the same time and I need to be able to tell which one the
plasmoid is targeting.

I thought I could use that data engine approach but looks like that all
projects would have to share the same DataEngine instance so I still need to
tell them separately what project do they have to target somehow.
