Add entry to <appname> menu using QML

I have a C++ application that uses Qt/QML for its GUI. I'd like to add an entry to the menu with the app's name in the OSX menu bar using QML. I already managed to do this in C++ with QMenu, QActions etc. and it works fine. But in this case it would be sufficient and cleaner to do this in QML.

So far all I could find was using MenuBar, Menu and MenuItem - but this only adds new menus to the menu bar. Adding to the existing app name menu does not seem to work.

Any ideas?

This will be doable with the new experimental Qt.labs.platform module available in Qt 5.8 (yet to be released) : Qt.labs.platform's MenuBar.

Currently Qt 5.8 is only available in Alpha, this means you'd have to compile it yourself from source to use it and it isn't considered stable.

EDIT : As DenverCoder21 mentionned, it seems that this doesn't make it possible to alter the app menu, only add other menus.
