The QStandardItem seems to be used to limit the drag&drop to files, images, text etc. so that you can drag & drop from and to external applications (which is not possible for general objects).
http://doc.qt.io/qt-4.8/qstandarditem.html#subclassing says you should subclass QStandardItem and override read and write or data and setData. That is probably used to marshal and unmashal the objects, to make them compatible to text, which can be passed to and from external applications.
