Menu Navigation - problem with nesting ListModels

Hawk30100

Hello dear community,

I have a little big problem with my menu navigation.

I just wanted to make a navigation using ListModels and one ListView.
My idea was to change the model of the ListView when an user clicks on a MenuItem.

For example:

@ListModel {
id: mainMenu

ListElement { title: "Navigation" },
ListElement { title: "Settings" },
ListElement { title: "Quit Application" }
}

ListModel {
id: navigationMenu

ListElement { title: "Google Maps" },
ListElement { title: "OVI Maps" },
ListElement { title: "OpenStreetMaps" },
ListElement { title: "Back to MainMenu" }
}@

My idea was to determine wether an action should be called (e.g. "start application Google Maps) or if the menu should be updated with another model (e.g.: user clicked on Navigation -> Navigation menu should be displayed: google maps, ovi maps, ...)

My problem is that I can not use existing objects as property in a model.
Example:

@ListModel {
id: mainMenu

ListElement { title: "Navigation", model: navigationMenu },
ListElement { title: "Settings" },
ListElement { title: "Quit Application" }
}@

Qt tells me that it is not possible to call a function within a script or something similiar.
Therefore I can not create a generic menu function like this: changeMenu(newModel)

Is there any possibility to have a pointer to an object in qml?
Or a way to get a specific object? ( getObjectById("navigationMenu")

Do you have a better idea or suggestions how to implement such a menu?

Update: I am developing for Android 4.4 with Qt 5.2
