You're not going to get something like that out of the box. Something like a lightbox or other modal dialog to hold the table. The table will need to be ajax updated based on filters. Then you'll need a custom javascript to pass the selection back to the form.
Otherwise you'd need to store/pass along the form information for a standard page load somehow, then repopulate the form when you get back. Seriously though, give the name-one a try. It's probably 80-90% towards what you're after functionality wise.
