Since the forms layout in the interface is so limited (no ability to add new records in a linked table, no options for lists, grids, etc...), I'm basically using the record details layout as a form for new records entry.

Any idea how to implement a page that would act as a record details form without getting there from a list or grid?

Thanks, I've managed to do what I wanted using a button and a link to the record.
It's an awkward workaround, but for the users it works flawlessly and they don't see the awkwardness.
