How to wire up an editor to the location cursor icons?

Question

I have built a graphical editor as an Eclipse plugin. Users may zoom into and pan about the graphical image.

I would like to employ the Back and Forward arrow icons in the Eclipse icon bar to step back and forth through the graphical image, in a similar manner to what is already possible in textual editors. All of my references go quiet on this subject

All clues or better references are most welcome.

I think you need to define a RetargetAction

See an example at http://help.eclipse.org/ganymede/index.jsp?topic=/org.eclipse.platform.doc.isv/guide/rcp_actions.htm

(I haven't done this myself, but it sounds right...)
