I attempted to remove _PROP_PTR for "ged-events" and use _PROP_LINK and
_set_link(),

And with this I get,

It looks like struct pointer cannot be used directly and has to make a QOM 
object
for DEFINE_PROP_LINK use. Not sure there is an easy way for setting ptr property
using link() functions. Please let me know if there any reference 
implementation I
can take a look.

Appreciate your help,

Thanks,
