I had another open question related to a similar topic, but to my bad, I should have provided more context.
I'm currently working on a custom app, and when a custom form loads, I'm aiming to display the dialogue that corresponds to one of the reference fields on that form.
This is primarily intended to enhance the user experience and I am aware that users can click on the small search icon, but due to the specific form factor of the rendering on certain devices, I am seeking an alternative solution.
As an example, consider the Incident form: upon loading the form, say, our goal is for the associated dialogue linked to the 'assigned_to' field to automatically open.
I'm just inquiring whether achieving this is possible through client-side scripting or any other means.

Hi @ycd,
Is there a good reason for wanting to auto-display the dialog associated with a reference field? I am assuming that you are trying to either populate the empty reference field or change its existing value to a new one.
Generally, it would be left to the user to open the dialog if they want to rather than auto-opening it for them each time the page loads.
And since you mentioned form factor, I found a link that might be of use to you as it talks about displaying reference field choices on mobile devices.
