The way that SP is configured for this group, I was not easily able to modify the default forms. What I did do is create a qListView grid that contained boths lists that I was looking to have as action items. From there, I added a new column that was edit form link. This was added as the link to the specific row in the list view based on the source list (my action item list or the system workflow tasks). This allowed me to replicate the default My Action items SP web part and have custom forms to direct the user to.
