Seems reasonable, I can setup a secure action for this later. I'm having more trouble just getting the information I need first unfortunately. I played with the following snippit in WowLua, and it actually works as intended: I get the spell name from the Bartender4 button. From addon:Initialization though the button appears to be nil, even after marking Bartender4 as a dependency

function ParseSpellName(spellId)
   local spellName, spellSubName, _ = GetSpellInfo(spellId);
   if spellSubName then
      return string.format("%s(%s)", spellName, spellSubName)
   else
      return spellName
   end
end


local button = _G["BT4Button73"]
local slot = button:GetAttribute('action');
local actionType, actionId, _ = GetActionInfo(slot);
if (actionType == 'spell') then
   local command = string.format("/use [@mouseover]%s", ParseSpellName(actionId))
   print(command);
end
