Or an action that will assist in removing a background or lifting out the subject from the bg.

No such "action" exists.

However there are plug-ins that will create studio backdrops and will help with extractions but they still require significant knowledge and skill in masking. In my opinion the best technique is Channel Masking which requires no additional plug-ins or actions.

You would need to shoot like the movie industry (green or blue background) first that is consistent in colour and none of the subjects have this colour on them. Then you may be able to automate it. Otherwise the software can not be a replacement for the human eye as to what to include and/or exclude. It is not that "clever".

Take a look at Corel Knockout:
