I'm going to close this issue.

I'm going to skip row actions for the moment and concentrate on the other four, which I know I have use-cases for.","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",573755726,Mechanism for plugins to add action menu items for various things,

- Table action menus (for things like configure FTS, edit schema)
- Database action menus (import CSV file into this table)
- Instance action menus (manage users, import CSV into this instance)
- Column action menus (already there, plugins could include extract this column)
- Row action menus?

* A mechanism for adding **actions** - essentially menu items - to tables and rows and queries and the index page
* A way of defining blocks on the page where a plugin can add an entire block of custom HTML - above and below the table, or at the top of the index page for example.

Anything fancier than this can be achieved using JavaScript - provided there are documented blocks with IDs that JavaScript code can then manipulate in sensible ways.","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",573755726,Mechanism for plugins to add action menu items for various things,
