there are no bindings for qt models at the moment, there is a tree view proxy 
widget in plasma widget but i don't think is usable at all in javascript.

at the moment the only way to have some kind of "fake" item view is to iterate 
trough the data given from the dataengine and construct a widget for each 
item. is how microblog, opendesktop etc plasmoids work.
