two answers:

a) we should make actions available in the standard UI for 4.4

b) actions-on-matches should only be used for things that act on the match but 
aren't necessarily related to the query term itself ("verbing the noun"). in 
the case of media players it's pretty natural to go this route since if i type 
"jeremy" and it comes up with the Pearl Jam song, it should also offer an 
action to play it. but i should _also_ be able to do "play jeremy" in krunner 
and not have to worry about the action.
