ok, understood.
having two different pages may indeed be a solution.. depends how much code 
duplication this leads to (in general "modes" in an ui are discouraged, but of 
course depends case by case).

or maybe you can do something on the lines:

Page {

    proeprty var viewActions: [
         Action {}, Action{}...
    ]
    proeprty var editActions: [
         Action {}, Action{}...
    ]

    contextualActions: editMode ? editActions : viewActions
}
