Right, I thought about that as well.
But I am neither an expert on models not delegates so this was easier to 
implement for the first take.

I guess one needs a proxy model that add the options' data as additional roles 
and/or columns?
Or can the delegate just access arbitrary additional data, in the sense of 
this not being a hack?
