I do not know how much ivy and counsel are separated here. I looked
for a pure ivy entry point to find-file before answering, but all I
could find was counsel-find-file.

On the other hand, both ivy-switch-buffer and counsel-switch-buffer
offer such a choice of actions on M-o.

I do not have any experience with that.
