Custom Widget - BaseFeatureAction Type Functionality in Experience Builder?

Question

I am currently working at rewriting Widgets that were written in WebAppBuilder to similar functionality in ExperienceBuilder.  One of the components I utilized in WAB was the BaseFeatureAction item.  That way, when a parcel was clicked, there were a number of different processes a user could select from the identification window.  Has anyone found a way to reproduce this in Experience Builder?  Or if not that specifically, is there a way to add other tools besides 'Zoom To' to the feature popup box?

Any suggestions on best approaches to do something similar with this application would be appreciated.

Thanks!

You can grab the mapView from another widget. I have found these two lines of code work well most of the time. There are probably better more robust methods as well.

const viewManager = MapViewManager.getInstance()
    const mapView = viewManager.getJimuMapViewById(viewManager.getAllJimuMapViewIds()[0])

Thanks for the suggestion! @JeffreyThompson2  I took a look at the solutions in the provided link. However, it seems that those solutions involve instantiating new maps and views. I'm specifically looking for a way to achieve this using the existing map and view in my application. If you have any insights or alternative approaches within the context of the existing map, I'd greatly appreciate it!

I never found a satisfactory solution in dealing with the popup in the same way we had in the WebAppBuilder.  At the time, instead of fighting with that system, I created my own 'Identify' tool that allowed a local configuration per layer that I allow to be identified.  With that, I had full control of how the data was displayed and what options I had.  You can see what I ended up here:  https://mapping.kenoshacountywi.gov/InteractiveMapping/ You can zoom in and just click on a parcel and my custom widget handles everything in the sidebar.
