Hi @VIKAS MISHRA ,

You can use the below code to Open a Story in the new tab.

Change the url according to your choice. I had used sn_safe_story. if its rm_story then use url = '/rm_story.do';

function CreateStory(){
	var url = '/sn_safe_story.do';
	top.window.open(url, '_blank');
}

See the image below for more details.

This is not possible in server side UI action, for achieving the same

You need to modify the UI action to "client" and using GlideAjax you need to make a record in "rm_story" table and 

return the sys_id to client side and open the form in new tab

Try this, You will find this helpful.

function printRecord() {
    var sysid = g_form.getUniqueValue(); // It will give you the sys_id of the current record.
    var features = "resizable=yes,scrollbars=yes,status=no,toolbar=no,menubar=yes,location=no,width=600,height=400";
    var url = '/incident.do?sys_id=' + sysid; // Used to open the same record
    g_navigation.open(url, features); // It will open the record in new tab
}
