There are several examples in the org.alfresco.web.action.evaluator package.

Is there an example of this somewhere in the Alfresco source, or on the Wiki? I haven't been able find anything similar in my searches.

Thanks - I'll look into it.

http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Adding_a_Custom_Dialog gives an example of adding a custom JSP page launched from a new action icon.
