MV4.x/Interchange's ActionMap allows you to override or create an action
-- there is an example in the Interchange "barry" demo:

# Here we override Interchange's normal order routine
ActionMap  order   <<EOR
sub {
    #Log('in order action');
    if($CGI->{mv_nextpage} ne 'order') {
	    # Do nothing
    }
    elsif($Values->{no_basket}) {
	    $CGI->{mv_nextpage} = 'ord/nobasket';
    }
    else {
	    $CGI->{mv_nextpage} = '__ORDER_STYLE__/basket';
    }
    if($CGI->{style}) {
	$CGI->{mv_order_item} = $CGI->{style} . $CGI->{color} . $CGI->{size};
	Log("ordering $CGI->{mv_order_item}");
    }
    elsif ( ! $CGI->{mv_order_item}) {
	 $CGI->{mv_order_item} = $CGI->{mv_arg} || undef;
    }
    $Tag->update('values');
    return 1;
}
EOR

Probably better is to do "ActionMap style_order" and let
the normal routine stay, though.

Now:

    [page href=style_order
	    form="
		style=somestyle
		color=somecolor
		size=somesize
	    "]Order it</A>
