It looks like it was added in 1.11.x. In the work we've done, we've
found that the inputs aren't needed. We've taken them out in our
current iteration and used anchors. The inputs can be put back in if
need be.
But this button doesn't have any javascript or anything else. When we
make it an anchor we get 2 ids, and no values, and it does nothing.
It's interesting.
