odoo-addon-setup-many2one-widget-open-tab 16.0.1.0.0

Adds a many2one widget with a button to open the related record in a new browser tab

This module provides a new many2one_open_tab widget for Many2one fields. It extends the standard Many2one widget by adding an extra button that opens the related record in a new browser tab, while keeping all the original Many2one functionality intact.

This is the Many2one counterpart of the OCA module web_widget_open_tab, which provides similar functionality for tree/list views.

Usage

To use this widget, add the widget="many2one_open_tab" attribute to any Many2one field in a form view:

<field name="partner_id" widget="many2one_open_tab"/>

The widget behaves exactly like the standard Many2one widget, with the following additions:

• Edit mode: An extra fa-external-link icon button appears next to the existing internal link arrow. Clicking it opens the related record’s form view in a new browser tab.

• Read-only mode: A small fa-external-link icon appears after the record name link. Clicking it opens the related record in a new browser tab, while clicking the record name itself navigates in the same tab with breadcrumbs (standard Odoo behavior).

Note

This widget does not patch or modify the standard many2one widget. It registers as a separate widget (many2one_open_tab) in the fields registry, so existing Many2one fields are completely unaffected.

Known issues / Roadmap

• Add support for many2many_tags widget variant with open-in-new-tab functionality.
