A $button can actually invoke two sets of action widgets:
First, when clicked, any action widgets that occur in the body of the
button are invoked.
Then, if the $button has an actions="..." parameter, those actions are
invoked afterwards.
Thus, you can do something like:
<$button actions="""<$action-setfield $title={{$:/savedtitle}} ... />""">
click me
<$action-createtiddler $basetitle="..." $savetitle="$:/savedtitle"
etc... />
</$button>
note that, for readability, you could also define separate macros for each
set of actions, and then invoke them like this:
\define buttonactions_1() <$action-createtiddler $basetitle="..."
$savetitle="$:/savedtitle" etc... />
\define buttonactions_2() <$action-setfield $title={{$:/savedtitle}} ... />
<$button actions=<<buttonactions_2>>> click me <<buttonactions_1>>
</$button>
