Binding key to popupMenu objectContribution [message #262954]

I am trying to associate a key binding with an action contributed via an
object contribution (IResource) to relevant popup menu's.

The action ("com.foo.ui.popup.actions.CopyGuideURIToClipAction") is
defined inside the objectContribution and which also contains the menu
definition on which the action is shown.

I defined a command and a keyBinding and when I run this with tracing
the Workbench associates the key sequence correctly with the command but
can't find a handler.

The action contains a definitionId=<my command id> attribute but that
doesn't seem to suffice.

How can this be achieved?

KEYS >>> Listener.handleEvent(type = KeyDown, stateMask = 0x70000,
keyCode = 0x63, character = 0x3)
KEYS >>> WorkbenchKeyboard.press(potentialKeyStrokes = [ALT+CTRL+SHIFT+C])
KEYS >>> WorkbenchKeyboard.executeCommand(commandId =
'com.ibm.xtools.rasguides.ui.copy.URLToClipboard')
KEYS >>> not handled

Below is an excerpt from my plugin.xml. There is no additional code
trying to register the action somehow.

<extension
point="org.eclipse.ui.commands">
<command
name="%command.copyGuideURLToClipboard.name"
description="%command.copyGuideURLToClipboard.description"
categoryId="org.eclipse.ui.category.edit"
id="com.foo.ui.copy.URLToClipboard">
</command>
<keyBinding
keySequence="Ctrl+Alt+Shift+C"
command="com.foo.ui.copy.URLToClipboard"
configuration="org.eclipse.ui.defaultAcceleratorConfiguration "
contextId="org.eclipse.ui.contexts.window"
scope="org.eclipse.ui.globalScope"
>
</keyBinding>
</extension>

<extension
point="org.eclipse.ui.popupMenus">
<objectContribution
objectClass="org.eclipse.core.resources.IResource"
id="com.foo.ui.IJavaElement.copyGuideURIToClip">
<menu
label="%GuideProjectMenu.label"
path="additions"
id="com.foo.uiMenu">
<separator name="group1"/>
<separator name="group2"/>
</menu>
<action
label="%GuideProject.ModelServerElement.copyGuideURIToClip.label "
class="com.foo.ui.popup.actions.CopyGuideURIToClipAction"
menubarPath="com.foo.uiMenu/group2"
definitionID="com.foo.ui.copy.URLToClipboard"
enablesFor="1"
id="com.foo.ui.popup.actions.CopyGuideURIToClipAction">
</action>
</objectContribution>

This is currently not possible (see bug
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=32979).
