That should be rather easy to implement (there's an existing DBus interface to do it and probably even a nice Python API). It would also avoid duplicating functionality. Additionally the same button could be shown inside the activity itself.

Just an additional info, using internal widgets could be not possible
for non-native activities e.g. TuxPaint is SDL based application and
trying to use gtk widgets or mimic to gtk widgets could be painful.
In this case, I just open details dialog in journal on activity shutdown
(only if new jobject was created).
