I know that there is workspaceAPI for aura development but I can't find anything in the web for lightning web component. Is there a way I can do this with LWC?

From the documentation lwc does not currently support the lightning console .

Workaround is to use aura components and if you have an lwc , wrap inside the aura components. This way you can bubble up an event and let the aura wrapper open the subtab.

    It's interesting how generally bad the "new" Salesforce tech is. The most basic actions are not implemented.

  • Less invasive refactor would be create "empty" (means not-displaying-anything) aura component, place it on page and set up communication with Lightning Message System to send info from LWC to open subtab.

Well my colleague managed to look for a solution for this using the import NavigationMixin:

HTML:

<a onclick={navigateToRecordViewPage} data-id={*lookup id*}  target="_blank">{*lookup field*}</a>

JS:

import { NavigationMixin } from 'lightning/navigation';
add *** extends NavigationMixin(LightningElement)

method:

    navigateToRecordViewPage(event) {
        this[NavigationMixin.Navigate]({
            type: 'standard__recordPage',
            attributes: {
                recordId: event.target.dataset.id,
                actionName: 'view'
            }
        });
    }

    I haven't tried this, but how does it know you want to open the page in a subtab, and assuming it knows that a subtab under what parent tab? Is it focused when opened?

try this one:

this[NavigationMixin.Navigate]({ type: 'standard__webPage', attributes: { url: '/lightning/r/Custom_Object__c/'+recordId +'/view?ws='+encodeURIComponent(window.location.pathname) }, });

Thanks
