I'm not sure what you're asking. MudWalker has nothing called an
'action'. I'm guessing you want aliases.

Do you want the commands to be sent immediately, or do you want to
choose a target and enter other commands which use that target?

For the first case, create an alias something like this:

Command: target
Script:
  command1 $$arg[1]
  command2 $$arg[1]


For the second case:

Command: target
Script:
  @@target = arg[1]

Command: usetarget
Script:
  command1 $$target
  command2 $$target
