I think a better way is to have a field that you can put the record
in. For example, in a program I wrote to do notetaking,
I put the name of the note in a field next to the title. This was on a
non-modal form, BTW.
I don't think what you're proposing is bad, but there are alternatives that
might be better. I think as long as the user knows
their context (program/form/whatever) it's probably okay.
