Generally speaking, you can attach an Action to a toolbar button or a
menu item, and you can attach it to more than one.  The button and
menu item text will be fetch from the Action, and changes to the
Action will affect all widgets it's attached to.  So if you need to
disable the "save" action then you just do so, and all widgets with
that action, everywhere, will be disabled as well.
