Deciding on the action after search?

[gerhard-h]

ff asks for the action before I perform the search. But this is not the way I work. Deciding on the action later would be great.
Is there a way to do this?

I cane up with this action to do at least two things, but that is not optimal either

r.name = "copy selection to clipboard and execute or open file"
r.action = "/MIN cmd /c echo {} & echo {} | clip & start /B /I "" {}"

p.name = "copy to to clipboard"
p.action = "/MIN cmd /c & echo {} | clip"
