Block actions - where to put them?

Where is the 'correct' place to put actions for a block?

I've been playing around with having actions in the block controller. Problem is I don't seem to be able to post a form to the action directly because of the block not having its own url. Added a default route for {controller}/{action} but I don't think it's a great idea since the action doesn't get the currentPage data.

Another solution I was thinking about was to put the block actions in a base controller that all page controllers inherit from. That way all pages have the actions for all blocks. Not a good solution when having many blocks...

How is this normally solved?

How about Web API and jquery combo?

Of course that's one way of doing it, it won't add any advantages over adding a default controller/action route and use the block controller. I would still need to post one or more params to be able to lookup currentPage or currentBlock.
