Action

A representation of an FDC3 Action (specified via a Context or Context & Intent) that can be inserted inside another object, for example a chat message.

The action may be completed by calling fdc3.raiseIntent() with the specified Intent and Context, or, if only a context is specified, by calling fdc3.raiseIntentForContext() (which the Desktop Agent will resolve by presenting the user with a list of available Intents for the Context).

Accepts an optional app parameter in order to specify a specific app.
