Can you create an outside object with an inline edit?

Hi all – when the end-user makes an inline edit to Object A, they want it to also trigger the creation of Object B, a historical object for record-keeping of edits across a variety of objects in a workflow. Is that possible? I understand that I could make an action log, then feed the action log into a pipeline that feeds into a backing dataset for Object B (or maybe even do something with automation when Object A’s dataset is modified) – but I’d ideally like to keep things simple/immediate and just have one inline edit action with a second rule to also create Object B

The action log is an object type already. Is there something you want to do with it that you can’t?
