How to I call the "Read value from XML file" action from custom code?

The title says it all - I need to refactor multiple mini-actions into a single coherent piece of custom code, and to keep the refactoring under control, I want to stick with Install4J Actions as far as possible. I checked the type hierarchy below com.install4j.api.actions.Action but found nothing XML-related.

BTW eventually the installer will have to call the "Replace text in XML files" action as well.
I.e. I'll appreciate any hints for a general strategy to find any action, given the name shown in the "Select an installation Action" dialog or in the "Screens & Actions" section of the Install4J GUI.

The class name of the action can be seen in the .install4j project file. For example, for the "Read value from XML file", the class name is 

com.install4j.runtime.beans.actions.xml.XPathReadAction

You can instantiate it in custom code and execute it via

action.install(context);
