HOW do I embed the "Delete and fill selection" command from the Object selection tool context menu into an action?

I tried this question in the fer-real Photoshop forum and I couldn't even get a response from someone that'd HEARD of the thing.

I've been using the Delete and fill selection.  It is NOT the same as a Content-Aware Fill.  The result is different, and better in some situations.  It works pretty well most of the time.  BUT, there are times when it works better if I do the selection then modify the selection using Select>Modify BEFORE selecting "Delete and Fill Selection" from the context menu.

I'd like to put this in an action, but I can't figure out how to put the "Delete and fill selection" INTO the action.  I can use the shortcut Shift+backspace, and it appears to work, but HOW do I put this in an action?
