Description

I think it's time to say goodbye to 2000s and embrace the 2010s leaving the windows for modals. Other than that we have separated the js machinery from the widget so this can be customized.

WIP tree here, full of debug prints:
​https://github.com/xrmx/django/tree/relatedcleanup

Appear to work when adding new related objects, haven't run automated tests yet.

TODO:

  • cleanup the js
  • switch to a saner modal library with a proper license

Summary: admin: Open related* popups in modals instead of new windows → admin: cleanup Open related* popups code so it's easier to extend / replace

After list discussion [1] focus the energies on just cleaning up the code in order to be able to replace / extend it downstream. Retitle the bug to reflect that.

Fixed #24405 -- Made admin related object JavaScript overridable

Consolidated it in one file and move the DOM related stuff to the
template so it is easily overridable. To override the popup behavior
you need to add handlers for the custom events triggered in the
admin_change_form_document_ready template block.
