+What is a property alias?
+=========================
+
+.. code-block:: js
+
+    import QtQuick 1.1
+
+    Rectangle {
+
+     property alias buttonLabel: label.text
+
+     Text {
+         id: label
+         text: "empty label"
+         anchors.fill: parent
+     }
+
+Unlike a property definition, which allocates a new, unique storage space for the property, a property alias connects the newly declared property, called the aliasing property as a direct reference to an existing property, the aliased property. Read or write operations on the aliasing property results in a read or write operations on the aliased property, respectively.

+Further reading can be found in the :qt:`Property Binding<propertybinding.html#property-aliases>` documentation.
