How to hook up to the onClick event of a QML item from C++ side using the QQuickItem pointer to the QML item

[Nelson_Piquet]

Scenario:
I have a Qt app which runs on Qt 5.9.4 commercial edition. Its a QtQuick and QML based application which is running on iOS and Android.

I have a QML item on the UI like this:

SomeItem {
    text: qsTr("Some Item")
    objectName: "someitem"
    visible: false
    onClicked: {
        console.log("Some item was clicked")
    }
}

I have a C++ function which can easily control the properties of SomeItem.

void MyCppClass::Func() {

    QQuickItem *someItem = qml_engine->rootObjects()[0]->findChild<QQuickItem*>("someitem");
    someItem->setVisible(true); // this works

    // How to listen to someItem's onClick event here
}

Question:
I want to listen to the onClick event of someItem in a C++ method or a lambda without changing anything in the QML. Basically hook up to the onClick signal signal of someItem from C++ side itself. How can I do it?
