Assign an Action to an object in the Graph Editor?

In 2.49 you could assign an Ipo to an object in the Ipo editor by picking its name from the popup list of all Ipos in the scene. This was handy as well for switching between two different animation curves for one object. Is there a similar functionality in 2.54 for assigning an action to an object by name?

Thanks.

In the Graph-editor you can copy and paste keyframes, if you mean that?
