Can a Ward have an active ability?

I've got this Staff of Revival item (that many of you are probably familiar with) and it summons ward, the Ward of Revival. I want the Ward of Revival to have the ability Recall, so that you can summon the ward at the entrance to a map, do your business, and then rapidly recall your troops to the start once you decide you're done. I customized the Recall ability to be NOT an item ability and then added my custom Recall to the list of abilities on that ward unit. But when I look at the ward in-game, I don't see any abilities listed.

Could it just be that the Recall ability doesn't show a command icon? If that's the case, how could I work it so that the Ward can perform Recall?

Thanks!

Tick off the unit being a ward.

Aye, the classifacation "Ward" removes ALL command card icons so that only right-click orders can be given.

OR you could do a ward, and make a trigger when Ward is given right-click order on allied unit, cast recall with some dummy unit.

All good ideas. I went with "tick off ward classification" and things seem to be fine.
