Set a lookup value to open in a new window or new tab.

I am assuming I will need JS for this so could someone help me develop a web resource that targets a lookup and opens the lookup record in a new widow or tab on click.

function openLookupNewWindow(){

var options = {openInNewWindow: true};

var type = Xrm.Page.getAttribute("ic_regardingorganizationid").getValue()[0].id;

$("#customerid").children().find("span.ms-crm-Lookup-Item").click(function(){

Xrm.Utility.openEntityForm("account", type, null, options);

});

}

RE: Set a lookup value to open in a new window or new tab.

I am testing it by getting a different record to open than that of the value in the lookup. I can get the record to open the issue is with the new window not opening.

Hi whatup,

Let's start but saying that this logic is not supported. You can not access or manipulate the dom either with JavaScript or JQuery, as Microsoft can make changes at any point in time and this will stop working.

Saying that, the openEntityForm is find, however make sure that your code enters the function.

I am not sure if you are looking for span.ms-crm-Lookup-Item or possible the button or div click event.

Try to avoid manipulating the dom if you can.

Hope this helps.
