The use of the hold-affordance attribute signifies that the <sp-action-button> in question will be delivered with a visual affordance outlining that special interaction with the button will dispatch a longpress event. Via a pointer input, this even will be dispatched when 300ms has passed after a pointerdown event without the presence of a pointerup or pointercancel event. Via the keyboard, an event with a code of Space or or ArrowDown while altKey === true will dispatch the event.

With the application of the toggles attribute, the button will self manage its selected property on click. When this value is updated, a cancellable change event will be dispatched to inform the parent application.

Events handlers for clicks and other user actions can be registered on a
<sp-action-button> as on a standard HTML <button> element.
<sp-button onclick="spAlert(this, '<sp-action-button> clicked!')">
Click me
</sp-button>
In addition to handling events like a native <button> HTML element, one can also use a <sp-action-button> in place of the <a> HTML element by using the href and optional target attribute.
<sp-action-button
href="https://github.com/adobe/spectrum-web-components"
target="_blank"
>
Click me
</sp-action-button>
