You can use:

ListWidgetItem::setData(int role,Qvariant data);

to store your filePath;

like this:

QString fileName = "hello.txt";
QString filePath = "/home/user/hello.txt";

//Adding to listWidget
QListWidgetItem *item =new QListWidgetItem();

item->setText(fileName);
item->setData(1,filePath);//here role is set as 1

listWidget->addItem(item);

//For taking back that filePath

QString filePath =   listWidget->currentItem()->data(1); //note::: role equals 1
