Sending View Action To Specific Controller

Currently I have an View in my application template that sends an event to the ApplicationController. I really would rather just send it to the another controller, PlaylistController, directly from the View, but I can't figure out how.

This is my current ApplicationController

App.ApplicationController = Ember.ArrayController.extend({
  needs:['playlist'],
  changeSong: function(delta) {
    this.get('controllers.playlist').send('changeSong', delta);
  }
});

And this is the view, which is in the application template:

App.NextSong = Ember.View.extend({
  classNames: ['entypo', 'to-end'],
  tagName: 'a',
  click: function() {
    this.get('controller').send('changeSong', 1);
  }
});

Just copying my answer from the comments above.

In this specific case, you can use:

<a {{action changeSong target="controllers.otherController"}}>click</a>

You'll have to define your other controller under the needs property of whatever controller is in charge of the template.
