Hi Neil

<$button> widget as an example of a widget that can trigger an action
widget.  Am I right in thinking that currently it is the only way to
trigger an action?

That's correct, only the button widget triggers action widgets at the
moment.

attitude)?

It would be fairly straightforward. In the handleChangeEvent handler of the
select widget we need to call self.invokeActions(event).

There are a few other widgets that should be enabled, too: link, checkbox,
radio and maybe keyboard, edit-*, dropzone.

Best wishes

Jeremy.
