Is this what you want?

@JoeCFD , not sure, its a work in progress this is what I have so far, StaleDataModel.qml:

import QtQuick 2.0

Item {
    id: root
    property bool initialised : false
    property string text: "N/A"
    property string color: "#777777"

    Text {
        text: root.text
        color: root.color
        font.pointSize: parent.width < 150 ? 30 : 16
        horizontalAlignment: Text.AlignRight
        verticalAlignment: Text.AlignTop
    }
}

Ignore the properties that I've created already, what I want to do is allow any QML that includes an instance of StaleDataModel to be able to access any properties the Text control and any properties of any other object that I might include without having to expose every single property. I plan to add an Image to the file.

Is it possible to add an id to Text and then add functions in Item root to get any property of Text or Image?

@JoeCFD , Yes I can add an id to the Text, in fact I have already:

import QtQuick 2.0

Item {
    id: root
    property string color: "#777777"
    property string text: "N/A"

    Text {
        id: rText
        text: root.text
        font.pointSize: parent.width < 150 ? 30 : 16
        horizontalAlignment: Text.AlignRight
        verticalAlignment: Text.AlignTop
    }
    property var anchors: rText.anchors
    property var color: tText.color
}

Still playing with it. So far no luck.

Example of what I'd like to do:

    StaleDataModel {
        id:hdgValue
        rText.anchors.top: parent.top
        rText.color: '#ff0000'
        rText.width: 256
    }

However this doesn't work.

JoeCFD

use function
function getTextColor() {
return rText.color;
}

@JoeCFD , I can achieve the same as that by defining a property for the text color, but thats not what I want. I would like to be able to access any text attribute / property without having to write a property or function for every single property / attribute.

This may help a bit

TheItem.qml

Item {
  property alias rText: rtext
  Text {
    id: rtext
  }
}

Now you can access every property of rtext through the alias rText in the root Item.

Edit: Like this:

TheItem {
  rText.text: "hello"
}

If you only want to extend the "Text" item, why don't you use it as root item in your qml file?
You don't have to wrap everything with an Item.

// StaleDataModel.qml
import QtQuick 2.0

// use Text als root item, so all default properties of Text will be available automatically
Text {
    // define it somehow generic, so you can reuse the item with different settings
    property int fontSizeBreakPoint: 150
    property int largeFontSize: 30
    property int smallFontSize: 16
    property color defaultColor: "#777777"

    color: defaultColor
    font.pointSize: parent.width < fontSizeBreakPoint ? largeFontSize : smallFontSize
    horizontalAlignment: Text.AlignRight
    verticalAlignment: Text.AlignTop
}

// SomeOther.qml
StaleDataModel{
    anchors.top: parent.top
    color: "#ff0000"
    text: "someText"
}
