The dialog in the pull request is the generic action dialog, and was not
introduced in this PR.
What's introduced in this PR is the (hard to do) part of writing the
python code to trigger this action.
Something that we plan to do once this is merged is a hint from the
"relation configuration dialog"
to the "action" dialog because it's really hard to discover.

This is also something that I think is very important. I really hope to
get the chance to work on this
in a (near-)future release.
