Date from embedded calendar

I have a form (Welcome) with an embedded calender view. There is an action in the Welcome form that creates a new document with a date field. My users expect the application to work like this: 1. Select a date in the calender

  1. Create a document with the selected date automatically filled in

I could accomplish this by using an action in the embedded calender, but the GUI would be better if I could use an action in the Welcome form that automatically retrieves the date from the embedded calender.

Does anyone know if this can be done?
