You can create an explicit button with an eval-elisp action type and just
give the function call as the action argument, e.g.
(message (format "%s" (current-column)))
Then when you press that button, it will show you the column your point is
in, as a simple example.
Alternatively you can also create your own types of implicit action buttons
that you can place anywhere. See the documentation string for defal, i.e.
Action Key press on {C-h f defal RET}. This is a great new simple way to
create implicit buttons that link to whatever you need.

You can use something like:
(push '("Name" . "https://url-with-%s-in-it";) hyperbole-web-search-alist)
or you could use a setq call and just replace the whole list with the items
you want where you want them.
