Hi Markus,
I made an application for the ORACLE APEX AWARD in Germany this year with exactly this feature in it.
Here is the link http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=25500:1
Login with Loginame: guest and Password: apexuser
On the first page you can see an IR go on the detail button and you will get linked to another page. In it you find what you need in action. You also can download this sample application: http://www.oracle-apex-award.de/TIA-Technische-Infrastruktur.70.0.html
Unfortunately the application is in German. I hope you will understand.
Howto:
Go into Report Attributes>Column Attributes and change the values for:
Link text: <img src="#WORKSPACE_IMAGES#tmp_user_delete.png" alt="delete contact person"> // for the picture
Target: URL
URL: javascript:confirmDeleteGET(htmldb_delete_message,'f?p=&APP_ID.:8:&SESSION.::::P8_ACTION_DELETE:#ID#');
Go into Edit Page and edit the HTML Header:
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
htmldb_delete_message='"DELETE_CONFIRM_MSG"';
function confirmDeleteGET(msg,url){   
var confDel = msg;
confDel= confirm("Would you like to perform this delete action?");
if (confDel== true){      redirect(url);}}
</script>
Now add a Before Header process
Under source:
begin
delete files where id = :P8_ACTION_DELETE;
commit;
:P8_ACTION_DELETE := '';
end;
Under Conditional Processing
Type: PL/SQL Expression
Expression1: :P8_ACTION_DELETE IS NOT NULL
