Method return value to call another form in OpenERP

Question

Currently, you can set to return value of an OpenERP to the following, to get the current form to be closed:

return {'type':'ir.actions.act_window_close' }

Is there a return value that would open another form instead? For example, in the Product form, buttons can call a sales form or a wizard form.

Following is an example function.Maybe helpful for you

def open_popup(self, cr, uid, ids, context=None):
    mod_obj = self.pool.get('ir.model.data')
    if move.parent_production_id:
        res = mod_obj.get_object_reference(cr, uid, 'module_name', 'id_specified_for_the_view')
        return {
            'name': 'Provide your popup window name',
            'view_type': 'form',

There is a function that gives you the act_window for a given xml_id.

def open_popup(self, cr, uid, ids, context=None):
    if move.parent_production_id:
        win_obj = self.pool.get('ir.actions.act_window')
        res = win_obj.for_xml_id(cr, uid, 'module_name', 'id_specified_for_the_view', context)
        return res
