qmllint: access properties outside delegate without qmllint warnings

Accessing properties outside of a delegate without producing qmllint warnings seems to be harder than it should be. The 3th example below which does not produce any warnings is not intuitive. I had to look to the bug reports to find it. I would suspect the 2nd example to be accepted by qmllint since this is the documented way of accessing properties outside of a delegate.

This is a common pattern in our codebase and since there are already two related bugs, I assume many users will encounter this issue. If this isn't easily fixed, documenting this somewhere would be useful.

Example 1

The first example gives an unqualified access warning since ids can't be referenced outside of a component (see QTBUG-101012 & QTBUG-101867). I agree that this is not a bug.

import QtQuick
Window {
    visible: true
    ListView {
        id: listView
        anchors.fill: parent
        model: 1
        property string foo: "foo"
        delegate: Text {
            text: listView.foo
        }
    }
}

produces:

Warning: main.qml:10:19: Unqualified access
            text: listView.foo
                  ^^^^^^^^

Example 2

The second example uses ListView.view to access the property as described in the documentation (https://doc.qt.io/qt-6/qtquick-modelviewsdata-modelview.html#accessing-views-and-models-from-delegates). However, this produces another qmllint warning.

import QtQuick
Window {
    visible: true
    ListView {
        anchors.fill: parent
        model: 1
        property string foo: "foo"
        delegate: Text {
            text: ListView.view.foo
        }
    }
}

produces:

Warning: main.qml:9:33: Property "foo" not found on type "QQuickItemView"
            text: ListView.view.foo
                                ^^^

Example 3

The last example uses a workaround taken from the comments of QTBUG-101867. While this does not produce any qmllint warnings, it requires an explicit conversion to var. It would be nice if qmllint could handle this implicitly.

import QtQuick
Window {
    visible: true
    ListView {
        anchors.fill: parent
        model: 1
        property string foo: "foo"
        delegate: Text {
            property var listView: ListView.view
            text: listView.foo
        }
    }
}
