Title:
  autopilot cannot fully introspect Qt applications

Status in Autopilot Qt support:
  New
Status in “autopilot-qt” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Currently, for Qt apps, autopilot Qt introspection library is not
  taking into account non-QObject objects.

  Some widgets store visible elements in non-QObect data structures and
  are not visible from autopilot even if they are visible on the screen.

  This is for example the case for the content of QTableWidget,
  QListWidget, QTreeWidget etc.  These objects store data in
  QTableWidgetItem, QListWidgetItem and QTreeWidgetItem respectively.
  These data structures do not inherit QObject.

  Autopilot should be improved to handle non-Qobject type datatypes for
  any UI element.

  To reproduce build the examples from the package qtbase5-examples and
  try to introspect applications in examples/widgets/ that contains any
  of the widget mentioned above e.g findfiles or spreadsheet.
