How to handle actions from context menu of a QLineEdit in Qt?

I would like to intercept the paste action of a QLineEdit context menu that is created by default in any QLineEdit widget (see picture below)

enter image description here

Is there a way to redirect the Paste action of the context menu by any means?

One can fiddle with the actions in the context menu by overloading the contextMenuEvent of the QLineEdit widget.

Edit:

The code of the link above:

void LineEdit::contextMenuEvent(QContextMenuEvent *event)
{
    QMenu *menu = createStandardContextMenu();
    menu->addAction(tr("My Menu Item"));
    //...
    menu->exec(event->globalPos());
    delete menu;
}

And the code that I actually used for my purposes:

menu = self.createStandardContextMenu()

menu.actions()[5].connect(self.paste) # The hard ref to the 6th item is not ideal but what can you do...

menu.exec_(event.globalPos())
