@keithamus I'm slightly confused by this - would there then be another attribute that gives the id of the <foo> element?

@keithamus and can't we have the attribute be called `action` even if one already exists in <form>s?

So maybe like:

```
<button action="open" controls="my-dialog-id">Show options</button>
```

I guess for a dialog we might also have a "showModal" action available... 🤔

@sarajw @keithamus Fwiw showModal is one of the proposed actions :)
