I'm not sure whether that means KDBusService should hardcode --action support.

I mean, the app could decide to have a different syntax, e.g. the desktop file 
for kmail would say that the "compose mail" action should call  
  kmail --compose
which already exists.

IOW, I would let the app handle this the way it wants.
It receives the command line, it gets the dbus calls via KDBusService, so it 
can handle it all.
