As reported in recent blog posts, the menu now has entries for not-yet-installed apps, identified by an orange-ball icon. Ditto for EasyApps and EasySetup. For example, EasySetup has AQEMU and QtEmu, offered when I clicked on "Virtual Machines":

I clicked on AQEMU and it downloaded and installed, as well as the dependencies, including qemu.

I haven't actually used AQEMU and QtEmu yet, that is what we can investigate. Documentation for QtEmu is minimal, much more for AQEMU, for example here:

The forum now has a "Containers and VMs" sub-section:
