Option 1: Modify Application Designer (XML or UI)
-
Go to System Configuration > Platform Configuration > Application Designer
-
Open the relevant app (e.g., WOTRACK, SR)
-
Locate the field or table control displaying the ID (e.g., WONUM, TICKETID)
-
Add a hyperlink control or modify the existing one to include:
<a href="javascript:window.open('/maximo/ui/?event=loadapp&value=WOTRACK&uniqueid=12345','_blank')">WONUM</a>
Replace 12345 with a dynamic reference to the record's unique ID.
Option 2: Use UI Script or Automation Script You can inject JavaScript via a UI script to override the click behavior:
document.querySelectorAll('.your-id-class').forEach(function(el) {
el.addEventListener('click', function(e) {
e.preventDefault();
window.open(el.href, '_blank');
});
});
Option 3: Use Launch in Context (LIC) If you're using Launch in Context, you can configure the link to open in a new tab by setting the target to _blank.

Adding a button to use launch in context would work, however, I would advise against it. Behind the scenes, each tab/browser window establishes its own webclientsession. This ensures that you can click a button on one tab without impacting another. This is capped to 10 UI sessions by default which means that after someone opened 10 tabs, they would start to get an error and be unable to open anymore.
While this setting can be changed (including to unlimited to avoid the error), it would leave stale session data in memory. I have seen in some customer instances where this ends up utilizing a large percentage of the heap size which could lead to the JVM running out of heap space and crashing.

Maybe this can be applied also to table https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/linking-assets-application-dynamically-assetuid
In second step then use for Target Browser Window: _blank
Maybe in DB table new attribute needs to be added, where You copy SR or WO num, and then use it as first column in tables, so not to conflict with original field.
Just an idea. Maybe will try during day or this week.

Is it available to open the SR or the WO in a new tab on the browser by just clicking on the ID?
