+    \qmltype IntentClient
+    \inqmlmodule QtApplicationManager
+    \ingroup common-singletons
+    \brief Singleton that provides functions to create Intent requests.
+
+    This type can be used both in applications as well as within the System-UI to create intent
+    requests. This type is only the factory, returning instances of the type IntentRequest. See
+    the IntentRequest documentation for details on how to actually handle these asynchronous calls.
+
+    Here is a fairly standard way to send an intent request and react on its result (or error
+    message):
+
+    \qml
+    MouseArea {
+        onClicked: {
+            var request = IntentClient.sendIntentRequest("show-image", { url: "file://x.png" })
+            request.onReplyReceived.connect(function() {
+                if (request.succeeded)
+                    var result = request.result
+                else
+                    console.log("Intent request failed: " + request.errorMessage)
+            })
+        }
+    }

+/*! \qmlmethod IntentRequest IntentClient::sendIntentRequest(string intentId, var parameters)
+
+    Sends a request for an intent with the given \a intentId to the system. The additional
+    \a parameters are specific to the requested \a intentId, but the format is always the same: a
+    standard JavaScript object, which can also be just empty if the requested intent doesn't
+    require any parameters.
+
+    Returns an IntentRequest object that can be used to track this asynchronous request.
+
+    \note The returned object has JavaScript ownership, which means that you do not have to worry
+          about freeing resources. Even just ignoring the return value is fine, if you are not
+          interested in the result (or error condition) of your request.

+    request, you can use this overload to hardcode the \a applicationId that is required to handle
+    it. The request will fail, if this specified application doesn't exist or can't handle this
+    specific request, even though other applications would be able to do it.
