Bulk Action

    What I want to do is have a user enter a "Wanted Poster" picture and a text field on a form and submit it.
    Then as I review the form entries I would like to select three entries and hit a custom bulk action "Build WP Post". That action would then go and build the body of a preformatted WP Post. My custom Build WP Post function would do a string substitution placing entry/field content into a pre-formated HTML template that represents the body of a WP post that has three "Wanted" posters on it. Generate the draft WP post, then mark the three form entries a "starred" (processed).

    Do you have an upgrade safe hook where I could do this on a single form entry (if I hit the button in the entry view it calls my routine which builds a single preformatted wp-post and marks the entry as starred)? examples?

    Do you have an upgrade safe bulk action hook where I can do the same to take three selected entries an call a function to process them into one post?

    If I were to hack it - where is the bulk action "Mark as Starred" done?

    Thanks.
