Since Universal GUI 2025.2.13 (rc1) fields with ‘Look-up has popup’ will become clickable in the (non-edit-mode) grid to open the lookup. This feature would be ever better if a user could right-click on the link to choose how to open the lookup (similar to a hyperlink on a website).
-Open as popup
-Open as new document
-Open as new browser tab
-Open as new browser window

Bonus points if the default way of opening (left-click) is configurable for each lookup in the SF.

Hi, 

We like the grid popup for a lot of values, but not all the time. It would be great if it can be disabled in the grid, but still have the popup in the form. We have a lot of links to basic data and it's not needed to click this in the grid. However, in the form it might be useful. 

Is this already possible? If not, it would be a much appreciated!

Hi, having the ability to disable the lookup/popup in read-mode, independent of its functionality in edit or insert mode, is crucial for our application. So that should be configurable. 
Explanation:
In our application we have a pre-filter on lookup-values that can be entered in edit or insert mode. But in read-mode some other value (id & value from the lookup-table) may be visible (those have to be linked in another form/screen). Now that they are clickable in read-mode as well, a user sees this message


and we cannot prevent that without losing the desired functionality in edit or insert mode.
