Thank you for your suggestions, Ben and Gunnar!
To clarify, I was after the invisible root item that a QQuickWindow
creates. Currently, this is implemented (privately) as a
QQuickRootItem:
http://code.woboq.org/qt5/qtdeclarative/src/quick/items/qquickwindow_p.h.html#QQuickRootItem
If the top-level item is a Window/ApplicationWindow which has
contents, then engine.rootObjects().first()->children().first()
returns the first QQuickItem inside the Window/ApplicationWindow.
However, this is actually not the "root" item. You can find the true
root by calling
qDebug() <<
qobject_cast<QQuickItem*>(engine.rootObjects().first()->children().first())->parentItem()
My use-case is to dynamically add items from C++, as siblings of the
existing QQuickItems.

Is this case valid? IIRC, QQmlApplicationEngine requires a
Window/ApplicationWindow at the top-level in order to display
anything.
