In order to retarget some actions (e.g. ActionFactory.PROPERTIES) clients need
to know the action definition ID. Currently I can only get the ID (getId()) from
an ActionFactory but not the action definition ID. In order to get it I either
have to hard-code the string (copy/paste) or write the following helper code:

getActionDefinitionId(IWorkbenchWindow window, ActionFactory factory) {
  IWorkbenchAction action= factory.create(window);
  String actionDefinitionId= action.getActionDefinitionId();
  action.dispose();
  return actionDefinitionId;
}
