I think that it will be managed separately from the trigger,
but the feature request has been posted.
It is not scheduled when it will be implemented.

This RFE is not exactly what is discussed in this thread. It is quite close but it is not the same.
Here it is not the case of exporting/importing actions definition per se.

Sometimes when you when you have hosts templates (set of templates which can be used as single applied on the host object which may inherit other simpler/generic templates) you may be interested to template actions definition as part of the template as for example some action condition may depends on pattern in hostname or you want to add per template trigger based action.

Have actions definition as part of the template is useful when zabbix is interacting with external services processing alarming layer events and when you have quite sophisticated definition of the flow of alarms outside of the zabbix.
