Sounds dangerous. What would happen when a user customizes
'display-buffer-alist' while it's let-bound?  Note that I'm not against
the "app-action" idea and I think that appending it to
'display-buffer-alist' won't reduce the overhead it introduces.  But we
have to splice it in correctly into the list of actions we construct and
we have to be able to document it well.
