I want to open a record from a list view on a new tab.

I tried making a computed char field making an URL and put a widget="url" but it put the whole link as a text making the cell too big. So I just want an icon like 🔗 that opens the record in a new tab or the user can copy the link by right click.

Here is what worked for me.

  1. Make a computed HTML field with building the link like this:
link = fields.Html(compute='_compute_link')

def _compute_link(self):
   for rec in self:
      rec.link = f"""<a href="/mail/view?model={self._name}&res_id={rec.id} target="_blank"><i class="oi oi-launch" onclick="event.stopPropagation()"/></a>"""
  1. Put the field widget HTML on the list view.

<field name="link" nolabel="1"/>

Notes:

  • I'm using /mail/view the same as a link is given on notification emails, avoid putting action id since it can change over every DB/code.
  • If you don't include stop propagation on the link, it will open the record on that tab (as expected click on the cell).

Normally I leave it up to the user how he wants to deal with a link or a URL. My tool of choice is the middle mouse button (greetings to Apple users). Apart from that, a tip for your implementation: Use an HTML field right away, then you don't need to use the widget in the view.
I considered it, I think making an HTML field would create jsonb columns on the table, I don't think it is needed since a simple varchar is enough
I meant, if you go for storing the field.
No, translatable fields are using jsonb in database.
