Hi Weng I've been looking into a solution for this myself as well, and the best way i could come up was using C++/Python and then using the setContextProperty to set the property of any QML objects, the code would be something like this [1][2]. I found these Qt docs [3] to be quite helpful in this case. But yes, i would absolutely love it if there was a way to access DBus interfaces from within QML.
