    I think i read it wrong , You want to go to home page after opening a Summary view?? , If this is the case it's not possible as of now . Instead of using recordlink() , Design interface as parent-child navigation and for going back to interface1 use one of the suggestion from above

    Still don't get it , you want to launch a interface from Summary view??

    interface 1 is your summary view and interface 2 is normal one (If this is the case Just use the suggestions by chaitanya and me)

    or 

    interface 1 is Normal and interface 2 is Summary??

    You only have one option if that is how you want to show your summary. You can create a related action with a start form and get rid of all the buttons in it and you will end up with the default option to close the summary a x on the top right corner.

    Get rid of the recordLink() and use dynamic link instead as Mike suggested. Below is a reference, adjust according to your requirement.
