How do I create a link to a pop-up edit window in an HTML view?

I was able to create a link to edit a record, but when done editing, the user has to hit the back button.

How to I request that the edit form appear in a pop-up window?

EDIT: I'm using a link of the form:

I think I can do this with openurl, but is there a way with html?
