Look into ìr.actions.server and look how they work. A nice example from Odoo itself:

    <record id="hr_expense_submit_action_server" model="ir.actions.server">
        <field name="name">Expense: Submit To Manager</field>
        <field name="type">ir.actions.server</field>
        <field name="model_id" ref="model_hr_expense"/>
        <field name="binding_model_id" ref="model_hr_expense"/>
        <field name="state">code</field>
        <field name="code">
            if records:
                action = records.submit_expenses()
        </field>
    </record>

That's an action for expenses, where a user can submit multiple expenses at once to his manager. Server actions have more than type code, but that should be your option here as well.

You have res_model and src_model in window actions (your example). In server actions res_model is model_id and src_model is binding_model_id.

Thank you so much. it's working. you are my savior!! – Stefani Johnsson Dec 13 '18 at 10:08 — Stefani Johnsson, Dec 13 '18 at 10:08
