True, except even within SM sometimes those functions are invoked by
links. For example, on the message listing "Forward" is a button, but when
reading a message "Forward" is a link. Likewise, the Spam Buttons plugin
uses "Spam" and "Not Spam" buttons a message list, but does them as links
when reading a message.

Even if the function needs to appear as a button once, maybe that large
button could be shoved to the bottom of the page and the function called
with links in the more convenient part of the page.
