It's probably worth considering the interaction between Plasma::Service 
and declarative applets generally.  I ran into issues with keeping 
around an instance of Plasma::Service (I tried to keep it as a QtObject 
property on a QML item, which didn't work), and eventually managed to 
get it working by storing it as a variable in a separate .js file (which 
I remembered doing in another QML project of mine).

I think having a DataSource equivalent for Plasma::Service would be 
good, and allowing things like

Button {
	text: "Open"
	enabled: mprisService.commands.openUri.enabled
	onClicked: mprisService.commands.openUri({url = uriEdit.text});
}

or something along those lines.
