Is there any way to embed a QWidget inside a QQmlApplicationEngine or QQuickView?

I found a way to embed a QWidget in a QML, by using QQuickWidget render (anchoring, the QWidget with the QQuickWidget position), but I am trying to do the same using QQuickView/QmlApplicationEngine, which uses a different rendering system, and the QWidget is not shown.

Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

None of the posts linked on the comments answered my question. There is this small work around (for those who need it):

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
    QApplication app(argc, argv);

    QQmlApplicationEngine *engine = new QQmlApplicationEngine(&app);
    engine->load(QUrl("qrc:/qml/main.qml"));
    QQuickWindow* qmlwindow = qobject_cast<QQuickWindow *>(engine->rootObjects().first());

    CustomWidget *customwidget = new CustomWidget();
    QWindow* customwidgetwindow = QWindow::fromWinId(customwidget->winId());

    customwidgetwindow->setParent(qmlwindow);
    customwidget->show();

    if (window) {
        QQuickItem *qmlCustomWidget = qmlwindow->findChild<QQuickItem*>("qmlcustomwidget");
        if (qmlCustomWidget) {
            new WidgetAnchor(customwidgetwindow, qmlCustomWidget);
        }
    }

return app.exec();
}

Where CustomWidget is QWidget based class, and WidgetAnchor.cpp is:

WidgetAnchor::WidgetAnchor(QWidget* pWidget, QQuickItem* pItem)
    : QObject(pWidget),
      _pWidget(pWidget),
      _pQuickItem(pItem)
{
    connect(_pQuickItem, &QQuickItem::xChanged, this, &WidgetAnchor::updateGeometry);
    connect(_pQuickItem, &QQuickItem::yChanged, this, &WidgetAnchor::updateGeometry);
    connect(_pQuickItem, &QQuickItem::widthChanged, this, &WidgetAnchor::updateGeometry);
    connect(_pQuickItem, &QQuickItem::heightChanged, this, &WidgetAnchor::updateGeometry);
    updateGeometry();
}

void WidgetAnchor::updateGeometry() {
    if (_pQuickItem) {
        QRectF r = _pQuickItem->mapRectToItem(nullptr, QRectF(_pQuickItem->x(), _pQuickItem->y(), _pQuickItem->width(), _pQuickItem->height()));
    _pWidget->setGeometry(r.toRect());
    }
}

And on main.qml you have:

import QtQuick 2.0
import QtQuick.Window 2.3

Window {
    id: root
    visible: true
    width: 500; height: 500

    Item {
        objectName: "qmlcustomwidget"
        anchors.fill: parent
    }
}
