Eric, That is an interesting design method if I understand it correctly. If there is a trigger available, in this case a timer, presumably any other trigger such as a button etc... if actions provided to it they will be executed. It suggests to me anything which can act as a trigger can have actions, this is in most trigger widgets like buttons etc... but when someone designs a solution containing any kind of trigger it would be valuable if an action macro or tiddler reference was available if needed. Further consideration can be given to the modifier keys alt, ctrl...
I suppose I am suggesting this would be a good design pattern. What do you think? Eg; a todo list done button, if an action macro is set the do them. The user can then trigger a dialogue, or confirmation or many other responses. Makes solutions extensible without changing the code of the solution..
