typo3 extbase: is there a way to map exec_SELECTgetRows results to entities?

I have to make a rather complicated query to my database and at it seems that extbase queries cannot do what I need (for example, I need all categories with article-count > 0). So I created a query and execute it with exec_SELECTgetRows - now, is there a way to map the result back to entities?

I'd be thankful for any hints.

You can achieve this by manually triggering PropertyMapper. Check the Flow docs about it. The concept is 1:1 same in ExtBase.

Some example code in your case may be following:

$objectStorage = $this->objectManager->get(ObjectStorage::class);
$propertyMapper = $this->objectManager->get(PropertyMapper::class);
$dataArray = $this->db->exec_SELECTgetRows(...);
foreach($dataArray as $data) {
    $dataObject = $propertyMapper->convert($data, \Your\Custom\Object::class);
    $objectStorage->attach($dataObject);
}
