URL Add Related Form (But popup like embedded Reports)

I am trying to make a URL Button to add a child record in a form Example:

URLRoot() & "db/" & DBID & "?a=API_GenAddRecordForm&_fid_13=" & ToText([Record ID#])& "&dfid=10&popup=1"

I also tried:

URLRoot() & "db/" & DBID & "?a=API_GenAddRecordForm&_fid_13=" & [Record ID#] & "&target=popup&popupwidth=500&popupheight=400"

 

I also tried these checking In Same Page, In New Window, And In Pop Up.but the button does not pop up like the embedded report. is it possible to make a button that works this way on PC and Mobile as it does in the Report button Link?

    You can do this using a formula rich text field. Something like this

    "<a class='Vibrant Success OpenAsPopup' data-height=500 data-width=500 data-refresh=true href='" & 
URLRoot() & "db/" & DBID & "?a=API_GenAddRecordForm&_fid_13=" & ToText([Record ID#]) & "&dfid=10" & 
"'>Add Record</a>"

      Thank you! this should work for now on mobile for what I am trying to do! I wish they had a feature that you could easily get the form pop up to work and have the parent form in the background

        There is that option on the web am not sure of the mobile. In the formula url you have an option to make it a button and select the behavior. On the open target options  you have 3 options: 
        - In Same page
        - In new window
        - In popup
