feature request: easy creation of an action calling a method on selected lines of a tree view

[Alexandre Fayolle - camptocamp]

I asked the question on launchpad (https://answers.launchpad.net/openerp/+question/204253) and Stack Overflow (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11668636) the few answers I got seemed to indicate that the framework provided no provision for this, which seems to me to be a useful feature.

Given a model foobar with a public methode do_something, I wish there was an easy and straightforward way to add an action in the right hand box which would enable the end user to call the method after selecting the ids from a tree view.

I feel it's an overkill to have to create a new wizard, especially since do_something may be first performing something on the selected rows and then firing up a wizard, in which case the interaction becomes unnecessarily complex for the end user.

Thanks in advance.
