Enable IDE-Defined Actions for Row-Level Action Menus Across Interactive Components

Idea Summary
Oracle APEX provides a powerful and flexible Action framework in Card Regions, allowing developers to define actions centrally within the IDE and automatically expose them through the component's user interface.

It would be highly beneficial to extend this concept to other row-based components (such as Interactive Grids, Reports, and other regions supporting row-level operations) by allowing developers to define row actions directly within the Oracle APEX IDE and automatically render them in a dedicated row action menu/button.

The proposed enhancement would introduce a standardized mechanism for defining row-level actions similarly to Card Region Actions. Once configured, a row action button would automatically display all actions associated with the selected row, without requiring developers to manually implement menus, links, dynamic actions, or custom JavaScript.

This would provide a consistent developer experience across APEX components and promote greater reuse of the existing Action framework.

Use Case
Developers frequently need to provide row-level actions in applications.

Instead of manually creating action menus for each component, these actions could be defined once in the Oracle APEX IDE and automatically exposed through a standardized row action menu.

Preferred Solution (Optional)
Actions would be defined in the Oracle APEX IDE in the same way as in Card Regions.

In the application, these actions would be displayed in a contextual menu triggered by clicking a hamburger icon in the APEX$ROW_ACTION column.

This idea is open.
