Action buttons are specialized buttons used within flyout menus and dropdown components. They provide a consistent style for interactive options within these expanded UI elements.

## Description

Action buttons are designed specifically for use within dropdown menus, contextual menus, and command bar flyouts. They typically have a more subtle styling than standard buttons and react to hover and selection states within the context of their parent menu.
