I have a lookup field on a form. I want to open the lookup record in a new window once i click the lookup field value instead of opening the record in the same window. Is there a way to achieve this? either out of box or custom code?
Can anyone help?

Goutam - thank you for your code snippet. I had a similar problem to the OP and used your code to solve it. Worked brilliantly. Many thanks :-)
Hi Rutul ,
Please find javascript code -

function OpenLookupWindow() {
if (Xrm.Page.getControl("lookupfieldName") != null && Xrm.Page.getControl("lookupfieldName").getAttribute().getValue() != null) {
contactLookup = window.parent.Xrm.Page.getControl("lookupfieldName").getAttribute().getValue();
lookupId = contactLookup[0].id;
lookupName = contactLookup[0].name;
var parameters = {};
// parameters["attributename"] = "test"; //You can pass additional parameters if you want.
var windowOptions = {
openInNewWindow: false // You can control the window
};
window.parent.Xrm.Utility.openEntityForm("EntityName", lookupId, parameters, windowOptions); // Replace entity name here . If its not work try to remove "window.parent"
}
else
{
alert("control not found");
}
}
You can place a button on the ribbon and call javascript by getting the lookup id and opening it in a new window.
