The grid creates the back button links based on the URL of the grid action
itself, but it stores the referrer URL in
session._web2py_grid_referrer_web2py_grid (if you use a custom formname for
the grid, that last "web2py_grid" is replaced with the formname). So, in
your grid action, before creating the grid, you could do:
session._web2py_grid_referrer_web2py_grid = [some alternate URL]
grid = SQLFORM.grid(...)
