I would convert the formula url to a formula rich text and do the following:
"<a class='Vibrant Success OpenAsPopup' data-height=950 data-width=500 data-refresh=true href=\""& $url &"\" >Button Label</a>"
This will run your url and open whatever link you're targeting and then when you close the popup it will refresh the page for you.
Chayce,
I tried your solution but am getting the dreaded "404 Error, Page Unrecognized" popup when I hit the button. I must not be integrating your solution correctly. Here is my code for the formula rich text (button).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
var text SplashPage = URLRoot() & "db/" & Dbid() & "?a=dbpage&pageID=12";
var text URL = URLRoot() & "db" & Dbid() & "?act=API_EditRecord&rid=" & [Record ID#]
& "&_fid_7="& Now() & "&rdr=" & URLEncode($SplashPage);
"<a class='Vibrant Success OpenAsPopup' data-height=950 data-width=500 data-refresh=true href=\""& $URL &"\" >Hit Me</a>"
