Is there any way an application can directly invoke an action,
without using it in the translation manager?

Essentially, I want my program to be say something like

	XtInvokeAction("action_procedure_name", <whatever args are needed>);

The idea is that I want to build a menu widget where each menu item
is the pair ("menu string", "application-action"). This would allow
users to customize the behavior of menus.
