How to get tasks to open in new window using modified buttons

Hello, I want my task buttons (Log a Call/Send An Email/Etc) to open up the task in a new window. My users need to refer to the opportunity for information while filling out their tasks. Do I need to modify a standard, create a new button or change a setting to accomplish this? Any suggestion would be helpful. I have only created one SControl, so still a novice with the coding portion.

 

Thanks!

You can create a new detail button with this URL:

 

/{!$ObjectType.Task}/e?who_id={!User.Id}&what_id={!Opportunity.Id}

 

And set the button behavior to "Display in new window"

 

Hope that helps,

Sati
