Personally I'd rather use an explicit dialog.destroy() rather than having a property that we monitor in code further away. 

the code in the C++ then becomes
connect(qmlObj->rootObject(), SIGNAL(destroyed(QObject*)),
        qmlObj, SLOT(deleteLater()));
        
and we can drop the d->alternativesObjects, and the alternativesVisibilityChanged.
