What are some offensive actions that are not attack actions?

The Take Cover action says that its benefits "lasts until you...use an attack action..."

This got me thinking: What are some offensive spells or actions that a spellcaster or other character might be able to take advantage from a position of cover that are not considered attack actions (actions with the attack trait)?

Demoralize comes to mind

The idea of someone hiding behind cover while throwing insults is hilarious to me.

The Boulder Roll feat of Dwarves is not an attack.

Command a minion I think.

Bizzarely, Magic Missile.

Most spells, to be honest.

A quick glance at the attack trait on AoN only lists 18 spells that count as attacks.

from the maneuver side of things: Thrash for barbarian and whirling throw for monk are not Attack actions

I think common sense is a better approach here. I don't think the use of the attack attribute as a definitive marker is reasonable here. Perhaps it means the more general definition of attack action from page 12.

If I were GMing, I wouldn't allow any targetting spell to be cast on your enemy without breaking cover.

Mayber demoralise from behind cover could work but I would be giving you a penalty.

There's nothing there that contradicts the established definition of attack though.
