Sorry but I haven't explained so good.
I have a qml application and I need to show a QWidget in a separate window.

You can call from QML any C++ backend function that creates QWindow or QDialog from widgets part, just do not forget that it requeres widgets module and also your application should be created as QApplication rather than QGuiApplication.

additionally to @IntruderExcluder 's suggestion,
KDAB has an "experimental" declarative widgets project, that might be of interest

At the end I have rewritten the project using a normal QMainWindow object with a QQuickWidget object in it so I can use both qml and qwidgets objects
