Getting current value of combo box

Hi all,

Is it possible to link a value to each item in a QComboBox list so that 
this value can be read in addition to the index and the text (the way it's 
done in HTML form submission)? I know this can be achieved by subclassing 
QComboBox and adding functions such as:

insertItem( const QString& text, int index, const QString& value );
insertItem( const QPixmap& pixmap, int index, const QString& value );
QString currentValue(); // returns the current value

But, I want to know first if there is an easier way.

Thanks,
