I assume rather than action, you mean any class.

Correct.

Yeah, it's not quite obvious.

If you name the additional page: home.additional.html and use the
link:

  http://host/tracker/index?@template=additional

does it do what you want? The file name format format is:

   object.view.html

where object is usually user, issue, _generic or it can be the word
index (or home). If index/home is used, there is no context provided
to the template.

See: 

http://roundup.sourceforge.net/docs/customizing.html#determining-web-context

where it says:

 1) with is no path we are in the “home” context. See the “home”
    context below for details. “index” or “home” paths may also be used
    to switch into “home” context.

Then the "home" context says:

   The “home” context is special because it allows you to add
   templated pages to your tracker that don’t rely on a class or item
   (ie. an issues list or specific issue).

   Let’s say you wish to add frames to control the layout of your
   tracker’s interface. You’d probably have:

   A top-level frameset page. This page probably wouldn’t be
   templated, so it could be served as a static file (see serving
   static content)

   A sidebar frame that is templated. Let’s call this page
   “home.navigation.html” in your tracker’s “html” directory. To load
   that page up, you use the URL:

     <tracker url>/home?@template=navigation

Roundup trackers come with a default "example" of home.classlist.html
that is in the tracker's html directory.

Does that help?
