    WIthout resorting to hacks, you cannot. I don't think that you
    should either. That is violating the design of WO. Each component
    handle's its own actions, it does not steal them from others. The
    hyperlink subcomponents should trigger the action in the CRUD
    component when their action is triggered.

    This is also a webobject-dev list question, not a WOLips question.
    Keeping questions on the correct list helps people searching the
    archives.
