Passing pointer to custom QML Type?

[David.G]

I have a "service" class that supplies whatever object the information they need. I'm not sure if I'm thinking this right, but the main idea is to have my custom QML type, let's call it Message to obtain the pointer before I use qmlRegisterType so it has said pointer and I don't have to write:

Message {
id: something
data: serviceProvider (service class, of course)
messageId: <int>
} 

Over and over again.

That said I just couldn't see any way of doing this, although the other way I found would be injecting the service into the rootContext in which I'm not exactly fond of the idea but if that's the only way then I guess I shall abide.

Any thoughts, ideas?

Not quite understand your question, but seems that what you are looking for should be Singleton object.

This could be an strating point:
