You've got it:
$this->render($alternateAction);
That's the appropriate way to switch view scripts.

In your view script, use the same render() method you use with the view
object:
<?= $this->render('foobar.phtml'); ?>
It requires the full script name (i.e., you need the script suffix), but
this has been supported since day 1.
