[SalesForce] URL parameter to force user to stay in Classic/Aloha UI

Not ideal but I ended up creating two custom links - one for Classic and one for Lightning - and adding them to the page layout. I couldn't see how to use Global Actions for this use case either.

Opportunity Report (Classic): /00O0J000009uZUR?pv0={!Opportunity.Id}

Opportunity Report (LEX): https://eu7.lightning.force.com/one/one.app#/sObject/00O0J000009uZURUA2/view?a:t=1487763110469&fv0={!Opportunity.Id}

I used the new '&fv0=...' functionality in Spring '17 for the LEX link (https://resources.docs.salesforce.com/206/latest/en-us/sfdc/pdf/salesforce_spring17_release_notes.pdf - search the pdf for fv0)

Downsides are - it seems you have to provide the full url for the LEX link, so if the org is migrated to another instance it will break. - you have to click an 'ok' button to authorise the redirect in LEX

If you are in Classic, both links work. You get the LEX report from the LEX link.

If you are in LEX, the Classic link gives you an empty report. The LEX link gives you LEX report, but only after clicking 'ok' button.

You need to create a lightning controller with the component and use the force:navigateToURL event: https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.lightning.meta/lightning/ref_force_navigateToURL.htm

Say you have a component that has a link:

<a href="<some url>">My Report</a>

Drop the href and pass and onclick handler to it

<a href="" onclick="{!c.goToReport}">My Report</a>

Now handle the event in the controller and call the navigate to url event

goToReport: function(component, event, helper) {
    var urlEvent = $A.get("e.force:navigateToURL");
    urlEvent.setParams({
      "url": "<report url path with query params>"
    });
    urlEvent.fire();
}
