Do you have a real use case?  
I’ve never needed this except for AJAX related actions where you can  
use code like this :

## In the view:

\<%= link\_to\_remote “1 click, 2 actions”,  
:url =\> { :action =\> “first”},  
:complete =\> remote\_function(:url =\> { :action =\> :second })  
%\>

## In the controller :

def first  
# non AJAX stuff here  
render (:update) {|page|page.alert(“foo”)}  
end  
def second  
render (:update) {|page|page.alert(“bar”)}  
end
