QtQuick3D - Allow applying a QMatrix4x4 transformation to Node

From the QtQuick3D documentation, Node has a property for storing the global transformation matrix, sceneTransform. However, it is read-only. 

This makes it impossible to apply a new transformation matrix to the Node when needed.

My attempts to decompose a 4x4 transformation matrix into its components and apply the individual transformations through writeable Node properties also does not work. This is likely due to the fact that the writeable properties such as position are local to the Node, not global to the scene. 

Therefore, it would be extremely beneficial to have a global transform matrix property for Node that is writeable, or a method that allows a global transform matrix to be set or applied.
