Two C++ classes were registered with qmlRegisterType and a developer wanted to connect their signals and slots even though QML created the instances.

Dheerendra explained that qmlRegisterType registers the class rather than a particular object. If QML creates the instances, the relationship between those instances can be connected where those objects exist in QML.
