Simulate a triggered(QAction *) in a menu

Im developing an application that uses voice to simulate some actions: drag and drop, select item, click buttons,etc. Now i have a menu that i need to simulate is clicked or triggered.

for linktype in globals.linkTypes.keys():
                    menu.addAction(linktype)
                menu.connect(menu, QtCore.SIGNAL("triggered(QAction *)"), self.__setLinkType)
                menu.exec_(QtGui.QCursor.pos())

When i say the name of one linktype in the menu i need that it generates the triggered signal. HOw can i emit it?

Thanks in advance!

QMenu::addAction(const QString&) returns the created QAction, just call trigger() on it.

action = menu.addAction(linktype)
...
action.trigger();
