I tried with record action but not able to achieve this .

a!gridColumn(
          label: "Status",
          sortField: 'recordType!{1b81b174-97c1-47ee-aa85-b20723b749c3}CDM2_Target Record.fields.{status}status',
          value: a!richTextDisplayField(
            value: a!richTextItem(
              text: if(
                a!isNullOrEmpty(
                  fv!row['recordType!{1b81b174-97c1-47ee-aa85-b20723b749c3}CDM2_Target Record.fields.{status}status']
                ),

You can make use of a!recordActionField in the a!gridcolumn under value parameter. The display parameter in the a!recordActionField allows you choose between dialog, same tab, new tab.

Have you tried this? Configure this record action to open in a dialog box with the desired size in the records actions configuration. a!gridColumn(
 value: if(
 fv!row.status="Completed",
 a!recordActionField(
 actions: a!recordActionItem(
 action: actionHere,
 identifier: identifierHere
 ),
 style: "LINKS"
 ),
 a!richTextDisplayField(
 value: a!richTextItem(
 text: fv!row.status,
 color: "SECONDARY"
 )
 )
 )
 )

Stefan Helzle has a recipe on his blog Appian Rocks , for a built-in "fake easy popup" which should satisfy a lot of use cases. 
 I'm curious though why the Record Action approach won't work for you? FWIW your code looks wrong at first glance, the Record Action Field does not go in the value of a Dynamic Link, it is a field by itself which you would call separately from other components.
