Lookup to multiple objects through single field

Hi All,

 

This is with respect to a lookup fields.


I want to create a functionality similar to "Related to" on "Tasks".I choose an object and the records in that object become available for selection/association.All through the same lookup field.

Any idea if it is possible, even a crude method would do.

 

Kindly advice.

 

Many thanks in advance.

 

Regards,

Anidev

It is possible, but the amount of code involved is non-trivial. I would recommend starting with a component so that the code can be reused. Inside the component, it should be bindable to a plain text field, and the component itself would have to provide a list of objects you could choose from (like the related to dropdown), and then make a custom lookup window, or try to hack into the standard lookup window functionality.
