How to pass `target` when calling a service?

See original GitHub issue

I believe recent Home Assistant versions added support for target when calling a service:

However, I can’t find a way to do so when using this custom component. The following example works in the developer tools page:

service: light.turn_on
data:
  transition: 60
  color_temp: 450
  brightness_pct: 100
target:
  entity_id:
    - light.foo
    - light.bar

And the following code works using the built-in buttons type:

type: entities
entities:
  - type: buttons
    entities:
      - entity: light.bedroom_lights
        name: 1min
        icon: 'mdi:lightbulb-on'
        tap_action:
          action: call-service
          service: light.turn_on
          service_data:
            transition: 60
            color_temp: 450
            brightness_pct: 100
          target:
            entity_id:
              - light.bedroom_lights
              - light.foobar
…

But I am unable to add target to custom:paper-buttons-row.

Interestingly it’s not listed on Home Assistants action docs

Yep, I’ve already reported it: https://github.com/home-assistant/home-assistant.io/issues/16992
