For a popup menu you can create your custom QWidgetAction to add to a popup menu.

This is sample QWidgetAction:

#include 

class  myCustomWidgetAction: public QWidgetAction
{
    Q_OBJECT
public:
    explicit myCustomWidgetAction(QWidget * parent);

protected:
    QWidget * createWidget(QWidget *parent);

};


myCustomWidgetAction::myCustomWidgetAction(QWidget * parent):QWidgetAction(parent) {
}
QWidget * myCustomWidgetAction::createWidget(QWidget *parent){
    myCustomWidget * widget=new myCustomWidget(parent);
    return widget;
}

You can then add your widget to a toolButton to be diaplayed in a popup menu:

myCustomWidgetAction * widgetAction   = new myCustomWidgetAction(this);

ui->toolButton->addAction(widgetAction);

Your custom widget can be a list containing different elements or it can be any other widget. You can also add multiple instances of myCustomWidgetAction to the toolButton.

You can also add it to a QMenu like:

QMenu* menu = new QMenu();

menu->addAction(widgetAction);
