Hi David!

Thanks for the input! In my case, it was only about how to get a pointer to
a menu defined via XML. What Alexander wrote does this very job:

auto *someMenu =3D qobject_cast<QMenu *>(
    guiFactory()->container("menuId", this));

(for the XML you wrote, calling this with "foo", would return a pointer to
the menu defined via '<Menu name=3D"foo">'.
