 I think ideallly this would be done in the existing classes. However, there
 is currently a kind of freeze for features in kdelibs so you might have to
 work on that in a subclass of your own for the time being.
 
 But hopefully in a way that results in this extended functionality being
 part of the respective classes in KDE frameworks 5.

Well this can be done in kdelibs-frameworks right now.

You'll just have to also find a solution locally for your own app.
