How to call UI action on a form section using UI macro

[sath]

Hi,

We have a UI action that is displayed a link under related links on the form. But user wants that link to be displayed on a section with the form. So, want to call this UI action using UI macro and formatter onto the form section. Please assist on how to call UI action through UI macro.

Here's the UI action code (when user clicks on the link, it returns name/value pair type):

This triggers on click of manageLocation()

function manageLocation(){
    var label = getMessage("Manage Location");
    var sys_id = g_form.getUniqueValue();
    var loc = g_form.getValue('u_location');
    if(loc) {
         loc = JSON.parse(g_form.getValue('u_location'));
      }
    var arr = [ ];
    Objects.keys(loc).forEach(function(key) {
          arr.push(key + ': : :' + loc[key]);
   });

   var dialogClass = GlideModal ? GlideModal : GlideDialogWindow;
   var dd = new dialogClass('sn_apm_location');
   dd.setPreference('sysparm_sys_id_ba', sys_id + ' ');
   dd.setPreference('sysparm_loc', arr.toString());

  dd.setTitle(title);
  dd.setWidth(500);
  dd.render();
}
