I’m trying to find a way to incorporate a brush into my action without actually having to stop and using the brush and then continue. More specifically, I would like to apply the art history to the entire image as a step within an action, but I want it to automatically be applied without me having to actually brush it.

Is there a way to do this?

What about using snapshots, and copy/paste, instead of the history brush?

Or, you could use a path that crosses the canvas and stroke it with a very large history brush. To apply a path to an action use the action flyout menu "insert path".

I’d probably just copy/paste and arrange layers, avoiding the history panel altogether.

Just read the "art" part of your post (as opposed to just the history brush). Use a path and stroke the path. If your images are all different sizes you might be in trouble (with this method).
