Trying to create an Action button to be placed on the record detail page, I want the functionality as click on that button, lightning component URL should open in a new window.

Using this link: /lightning/cmp/c__NewCase?recordId=Id which is opening in that tab itself while window open behavior is set to be open in a new window.

in your case you should use lightning:workspaceAPI please use below solution and post if you get any errors. refer doc for workspaceAPI

cmp

<aura:component implements="flexipage:availableForAllPageTypes" access="global" >
<lightning:workspaceAPI aura:id="workspace" />
<lightning:button label="Open Tab" onclick="{! c.openTab }" />
</aura:component>

controller.js

{(
openTab : function(component, event, helper) {
    var workspaceAPI = component.find("workspace");
    workspaceAPI.openTab({
        url: "/lightning/r/c__NewCase/+'yourrecordid'+/view",   // you should pass your recordId at yourrecordid
        focus: true
    }).then(function(response){
       // if any actions needed after opening a tab
    }).catch(function(error){
       console.log(error)// catch if any errors happened 
    });
},
)}

  • I can agree with the above method, but I want to open component with the button on the record detail page. So that I can set URL of my lightning component to be open and this component will open in new window or tab.

Here are two Quick Action Button Lightning Component solutions to either open a pop-up window or new browser tab with a Visualforce Page (or whatever URL you want to redirect to):

Lightning Component:

<aura:component implements="force:lightningQuickAction,force:hasRecordId" access="global">
    <aura:handler name="init" action="{!c.openPage}" value="{!this}" />
</aura:component>

Controller (to open pop-up window):

({
    openPage : function(component,event){
        var w = 1020;
        var h = screen.height-120;
        var left = (screen.width/2)-(w/2);
        var top = 0;
        var recordId = component.get('v.recordId');
        //Open Pop-up Window with Visualforce Page
        window.open('/apex/YOUR_VISUALFORCE_PAGE?id='+recordId, 'Sales Contract', 'toolbar=no, location=no, directories=no, status=no, menubar=no, scrollbars=yes, resizable=yes, copyhistory=no, width='+w+', height='+h+', top='+top+', left='+left);
        //Close Action Button Modal
        $A.get('e.force:closeQuickAction').fire();
    }
})

Controller (to open new browser tab):

({
    openPage : function(component,event){
        var recordId = component.get('v.recordId');
        //Open New Browser Tab with Visualforce Page
        window.open('/apex/YOUR_VISUALFORCE_PAGE?id='+recordId,'_blank');
        //Close Action Button Modal
        $A.get('e.force:closeQuickAction').fire();
    }
})
