So this fakes it by sending fake events to cancel the management cycle initiated by the child on mouyse press. don't think there is really a way about it as is how Qt event management work (and not only in qtquick)

About putting it in workspace, would probably be a better idea, however this may end up being needed in random plasma mobile applications as seems press and hold may end up used a lot looking at the talks about higs
