Nothing to do with whether the action chain has been dispatched.

The point is that Chained makes a distinction between "chain parts" 
(w/CaptureArgs) and "chain endpoints" (w/Args) - they're two distinct things 
and only an endpoint is capable of being the last thing in a complete chain so 
only an endpoint can ever have a URI.
