/**
 * Standard action for opening a Property Pages Dialog on the currently selected
 * element.
 * <p>
 * This class may be instantiated; it is not intended to be subclassed.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * Generally speaking, this action is useful in pop-up menus because it allows
 * the user to browse and change properties of selected elements. When
 * performed, the action will bring up a Property Pages Dialog containing
 * property pages registered with the workbench for elements of the selected
 * type.
 * </p>
 * <p>
 * Although the action is capable of calculating if there are any applicable
 * pages for the current selection, this calculation is costly because it
 * require searching the workbench registry. Where performance is critical, the
 * action can simply be added to the pop-up menu. In the event of no applicable
 * pages, the action will just open an appropriate message dialog.
 * </p>
 * @noextend This class is not intended to be subclassed by clients.
