How to show a form view by clicking on a record in a many2many field without lifting a modal panel

I have a form with a Many2many field and I'm showing it as a tree view:

enter image description here

By clicking on a record in the Many2many field mentioned above, the form of the corresponding model is lifted in a modal panel, as expected:

I can't find a way to click on a record of the Many2many field, instead of lifting a wizard, I will have the form view corresponding to the model of that Many2many field, without lifting a popup. In other words, this way:

Any suggestions?

You can write an action method on the model and extend the tree view showing this as button. This method should return an action which opens the record in a form view. That's the only "easy" way to do that, with the current Odoo framework.

A little example:

class MyModel(models.Model):
    _name = 'my.model'

    name = fields.Char()

class MyOtherModel(models.Model)
    _name = 'my.other.model'

    name = fields.Char
    my_model_ids = fields.Many2many(
        comodel_name='my.model')

    @api.multi
    def action_show_record(self):
        # only use on singletons
        self.ensure_one()
        return {
            'name': self.name,
            'type': 'ir.actions.act_window',
            'view_type': 'form',
            'view_mode': 'form',
            'res_model': 'my.model',
            'context': self.env.context,
            # don't open a popup
            'target': 'current'
        }

and the view of my.other.model

<record id="my_other_model_view_form" model="ir.ui.view">
    <field name="name">my.other.model.view.form</field>
    <field name="model">my.other.model</field>
    <field name="arch" type="xml">
        <form>
            <sheet>
                <group>
                    <field name="name" />
                    <field name="my_model_ids">
                        <tree>
                            <field name="name" />
                            <button name="action_show_record" type="object"
                                string="Open" icon="an-font-awesome-icon" />
                        </tree>
                    </field>
                </group>
            </sheet>
        </form>
    </field>
</record>
