Yes.  You also need to use setTarget:.   I just ran a test connecting a
tableview to an action on the application and it calls the method correctly. 
Please see below...

The setAction: method sets the action to be executed on the specified target,
specified in setTarget:, when a user clicks (single click) on the table.

It is overridden in tableview, since tableview is a control which doesn't have
a "cell".   The superclass, NSControl, calls [cell setAction:] in the
setAction: method.

Don't remove this code.
