what is the window action behind "create and edit" in many2one dropdown

Question

Odoo 9.0 community edition.
When there is a many2one field in an odoo from it is possible to select "create and edit" from the dropdown menu when populating this field in edit mode. This brings up a window which allows you to create a record. I know that you can also provide a "context" such that some of the fields of the new record are pre-populated for you.
I'd like to have a button with a server action that let's me do some calculations on what the context should be and then bring up this sam

So, it turns out there is *not* a window action behind the "create and edit" button -- it's a widget not an action.
Because of this, you need to set the context attribute on the field node in your view.
<field name="many_to_one_model" context="{'default_field': 'prepopulated value'}"/> Additionally, you may have to explicitly supply the view to use (in cases where there are two views of the same type for a particular model). To specify a form view, for example, set a form_view_ref context option
