This specifically mentions UIViewAction, but it looks like redirects
(PRG pattern) to enter, exit or navigate between nodes in the flow
does not work either (I used Mojarra 2.2.12 and 2.3.m04-snapshot).

I tried a variety of things, but could not make it work. PRG can be
important here to prevent the one-url-behind problem. See this SO
question as well:

Kind regards,
