Qt Qml Selecting Grid items using Selection Rectangle

[trickymind]

In the above image the light colored rectangle is the selection rectangle.

What i am trying to create is similar to a desktop environment. i need to select n number of items in the GridView like this way. i know it is not possible only using qml. please help me to figure this out. i'm not much familiar with QT C++.

I Know that we can only select a single item in GridView at a time

So

Is There any way that i can detect if the selection rectangle overlaps my GridView item and to highlight them?

In this post
need help on how to detect overlapping circles

aya_lawliet mentioned about QGraphicsItem::collidingItems

Is there a way i can detect the collided grid view item through QGraphicsItem::collidingItems ?
