    Example from the base app from the contact card page below. It largely depends on what UX you want. Lookups have a dropdown menu displayed. Whereas an assist edit opens a pre filtered chosen page:

    field(Name; Name)
    {
    ApplicationArea = All;
    AssistEdit = true;
    Importance = Promoted;
    ShowMandatory = true;
    ToolTip = 'Specifies the name of the contact. If the contact is a person, you can click the field to see the Name Details window.';

    trigger OnAssistEdit()
    var
    Contact: Record Contact;
    begin
    if "No." = '' then begin
    Insert(true);
    Commit;
    end;
    Contact := Rec;
    Contact.SetRecFilter;
    if Contact.Type = Contact.Type::Person then begin
    Clear(NameDetails);
    NameDetails.SetTableView(Contact);
    NameDetails.SetRecord(Contact);
    NameDetails.RunModal;
    end else begin
    Clear(CompanyDetails);
    CompanyDetails.SetTableView(Contact);
    CompanyDetails.SetRecord(Contact);
    CompanyDetails.RunModal;
    end;
    Rec := Contact;
    CurrPage.Update(false);
    end;
    }
