Running action throws "using $this when not in object context"

I'm working in the table of a standard Filament resource.

The documentation says I can do this: https://filamentphp.com/docs/3.x/tables/columns/getting-started#action-modals
use Filament\Tables\Actions\Action;
use Filament\Tables\Columns\TextColumn;

TextColumn::make('title')
    ->action(
        Action::make('select')
            ->requiresConfirmation()
            ->action(function (Post $record): void {
                $this->dispatch('select-post', post: $record->getKey());
            }),
    )

So I did:

    public static function table(Table $table): Table
    {
        return $table
            ->columns([
                IconColumn::make('playerAssignments')
                    ->icon('heroicon-o-pencil-square')
                    ->action(
                        \Filament\Tables\Actions\Action::make('edit-player-assignments')
                            ->action(function (Event $record): void {
                                $this->dispatch('open-player-assignments-modal', ['event' => $record]);
                            })
                    ),
  // ..

But when I click that icon, I get:
Using $this when not in object context

$this->dispatch('open-player-assignments-modal', ['event' => $record]);

Seems odd they would put something in the docs that doesn't work, but maybe it's not intended for regular resource tables? I can't remove static from the table function here.

I wouldn't even mind that the docs gave me erroneous code, if I could find a workaround, which I can't. What should I do?
Solution
->action(function (Post $record, Page $livewire)...

then, use $livewire->dispatch(..
