Add an option to Checkboxlist via an Action

I'm trying to recreate similar behaviour to the ->createOptionForm() of the Form\Select component https://filamentphp.com/docs/3.x/forms/fields/select#creating-a-new-option-in-a-modal but on a CheckboxList. I was hoping I could utilise either the ->helpertext() or ->hint() methods and trigger an Action. It renders ok - but the Action doesn't trigger the modal/form - is this possible or do I need top change my approach?

CheckboxList::make('roles')
  ->helperText(function(): Action {
    return Action::make('createRole')
             ->label('Add a new role')
              ->link()
              ->form([
                      TextInput::make('title')
                        ->required(),
                      TextInput::make('hourly_rate')
                        ->label('Hourly Rate')
                        ->required()
                        ->type('number')
                        ->inputMode('decimal')
                        ->default('25.00'),
                       ])
              ->action(function (array $data): void {
                $newRole = new StaffRole;
                $newRole->title = $data['title'];
                $newRole->hourly_rate = $data['hourly_rate'];
                $newRole->save();
              });
   })
    //->url(fn() => route('filament.admin.resources.staff-roles.create'))
    ->required()
    ->relationship(titleAttribute: 'title')
    ->columns(4)
]);

CheckboxList::make('roles')
  ->helperText(function(): Action {
    return Action::make('createRole')
             ->label('Add a new role')
              ->link()
              ->form([
                      TextInput::make('title')
                        ->required(),
                      TextInput::make('hourly_rate')
                        ->label('Hourly Rate')
                        ->required()
                        ->type('number')
                        ->inputMode('decimal')
                        ->default('25.00'),
                       ])
              ->action(function (array $data): void {
                $newRole = new StaffRole;
                $newRole->title = $data['title'];
                $newRole->hourly_rate = $data['hourly_rate'];
                $newRole->save();
              });
   })
    //->url(fn() => route('filament.admin.resources.staff-roles.create'))
    ->required()
    ->relationship(titleAttribute: 'title')
    ->columns(4)
]);

Solution:

Im not sure that ->helperText() accepts an action by default. But maybe you could use ->hintAction() instead? 🤔

RTFM - I didn't know that method existed. Thanks.
