 * A close relative of {@link org.apache.tapestry5.corelib.components.ActionLink} except in two ways.
 * <p/>
 * First, the event that it triggers is explicitly controlled, rather than always "action".

 * Second, the event is triggered in its container.
 * <p/>
 * This allows slightly shorter URLs but also allows multiple components within the same container to generate identical
 * URLs for common actions.
