Can I access, from C++, the QQmlContext in which a QtObject is contained?

Question

I have a sorta-singleton helper object that, however, I don't want to be actually a singleton, because I prefer to put things on the stack/heap. So I created it on the heap and set it as a contextProperty of my root QQmlContext. I also have a QObject subclass in C++, which is instantiated within the QQmlContext's object tree.

Can I access, from C++, the QQmlContext in which the QObject is contained, to get to the contextProperty in question?

I know I can do something like this:

// in main.cpp
engine.rootContext()->setContextProperty("_cp", cp);

// in foo.qml
MyQObjectSubclass {
    cp: _cp
}

// in myqobjectsubclass.h:
// (macro from http://syncor.blogspot.bg/2014/11/qt-auto-property.html)
AUTO_PROPERTY(MyQObjectSubclass*, cp)

But that means I must always clog my MyQObjectSubclass QML instances with the "cp: _cp" boilerplate.

I just found a way:

QQmlEngine::contextForObject(myQObject)

Haven't tried it yet.

Equivalently:

#include <QtQml>

// ...

qmlContext(myQObject);
