Should be a straightforward extension to ActionInformation, no?  An
alternative would be to extend the actions tool to allow mapping of
actions more abstractly (i.e., just by 'category'+'name') to UI elements
like icons, javascript, target, etc.  It makes some sense to do this at
a higher level for consistency (e.g. so that all "object/Edit" actions
get the same icon, target, etc.)

*Sheepishly*  I'd forgotten that the '_convertActions' method was there
until you and Yuppie reminded me. :)
