Unfortunately, unless you assign your action item to a project (either a regular project or a special "single items" project), your item will not show up in your selected context.

Furthermore, if you do assign it to a project, and then remove that project while you're viewing it in Context, the item seemingly disappears from your project mode.

And further still, if you search for the action while in Context view, and select it, and try to view it in the projects list by using View > Show In Project View, the item disappears from the Context view until you search for it again. (If you simply scroll to the item in Context view and use this command, nothing seemingly happens: you remain where you are, with the action highlighted.)
