Great that you are dealing with this Jed. I hope the idea that other
widgets trigger messages on change makes it somehow into the core!

Now that I have some idea of how things work it is pretty simple to
get the select, link, radio and checkbox widgets to be able to trigger
action widgets, so here is a demo
http://ooktech.com/jed/ExampleWikis/InvokingActions/.
For the link and radio widgets there aren't any problems. For the
checkbox widget you need to use a reveal widget to give it different
behavior for checking and unchecking, so you can only give it
different behavior in 5.1.8+.
The select widget this may not be particularly useful the way I have
it. You can use reveal widgets like on the checkbox, but they are
evaluated using the current state of the wiki, not the new state after
the select widget changes. I would like to find a way to only have the
actions in the option you select happen, but I haven't found a way to
do that yet.
There is a bit more explanation in the demo, but most of it should be
pretty straightforward.
I am hoping to make a pull request for at least the radio and link
widgets because they are the ones that can be used the easiest without
anything unexpected.
Because you would have to use a reveal widget to change what a
checkbox widget does for checking vs unchecking I am a bit concerned
about it being confusing for new users, and I am hoping someone has an
idea to make it work more intuitively.
The select widget needs work. I am trying to get it to only trigger
the action widgets inside the option you pick, but I haven't had any
success getting the raw wikitext from each option entry.
