Sometimes i'm wondering about possibility of some sort of dynamic 
actions. Example: i want a row of tabs which corresponds to top-level 
site folders. Currently, if i add a folder, i need to add an action 
manually. But i think it is currently possible to write some sort of 
tool which will generate its actions list on the fly... It is much more 
complex than it should be, but it seems to be possible.

With new design it seems impossible, isn't it? Maybe the new action tool 
will provide some sort of plugin support? Say, the possibility to put 
python script somewhere which will returns the list of custom actions...
