    That really depends on the context.

    Related actions are meant to allow interaction on records.

    If this is just a UI, I wrote a blog post about pop-up windows in Appian: appian.rocks/.../

    This is pretty easy to just do inherently on a single form, just the child wouldn't really look like a pop-up (as there's no direct way to do that).  Standard methods are to simply show the alternative interface instead of the parent interface, and/or to show it in a section below the original parent.
