This feature was removed for 3rd party. But I don’t know why, because I don’t there is reason to block it.

In ExtendScript the underlying action manager code is

```JS
executeAction(stringIDToTypeID("togglePalettes"))

```

In UXP it would translate as:

```JS
const {executeAsModal} = require("photoshop").core;
const {batchPlay} = require("photoshop").action;

async function actionCommands() {
   const result = await batchPlay(
      [
         {
            _obj: "togglePalettes",
            _options: {
               dialogOptions: "display"
            }
         }
      ],
      {}
   );
}

async function runModalFunction() {
   await executeAsModal(actionCommands, {"commandName": "Action Commands"});
}

await runModalFunction();

```

…and it does not work.
