ListView should support javascript arrays

Suppose I have a ListView which uses external array as a model:

Item {
    property var data: [ {name: "item1"},{name: "item2"} ]
    ListView {
        model: data.length
        delegate: Text { text: data[index].name }
    }
}

In my real project the array may contain subarrays so I cannot use ListModel etc. My purpose is to do that in pure QML
Now, if I want to change the data:

data[0].name = "another_name"

I have no way to update the list.
