Error adding a Menu in QML

[Chila]

I have the following code:

import QtQuick 2.4
import QtQuick.Window 2.2
import QtQuick.Dialogs 1.2
import QtQuick.Controls 1.4

ApplicationWindow {
    title: qsTr("Hello World!")
    width: 640
    height: 480
    visible: true

    menuBar: MenuBar {
        id: menuBar
    }

    MouseArea
    {
        anchors.fill: parent
        onClicked: { menuBar.menus.addItem("test") }
    }
}

When I run it and click, the following message appears:

qrc:/main.qml:19: TypeError: Property 'addItem' of object [object Object] is not a function

Why is this?

This one is discussed on http://stackoverflow.com/questions/32142565/error-adding-a-menu-in-qml ; there's some stuff there on how hard (impossible?) it is to dynamically add a Menu to a MenuBar, but maybe we're both missing some other trick.
