About Universal Polymorphic Lookup
One search bar. Multiple objects. Zero code configuration.
The Universal Polymorphic Lookup is a Lightning Web Component (LWC) that consolidates multiple lookup relationships on a single record into one unified search-and-select interface. Instead of exposing individual lookup fields (e.g., Account, Contact, Opportunity) scattered across a page layout, this component presents them as a single “Related To” field where users can search across any of the configured target objects.
Highlights
- One Search Bar, Multiple Objects Replace scattered lookup fields with a single unified search component. Users select the target object from a dropdown and search — the correct lookup field is populated automatically.
- Zero-Code Configuration All behavior is driven by Custom Metadata. Define object-to-field mappings, search fields, and multi-select mode without writing or deploying any code.
- Hover Card Preview Hovering over a linked record pill displays a popover with the record's compact layout fields and a direct link to open it — no navigation required.
- Single & Multi-Select Modes Link one record at a time, or enable multi-select to link one record per object type simultaneously. Each selection writes to its own lookup field on the parent record.
- Flow Screen Ready Drop the component into any Screen Flow with full input/output variable support. Use selected record IDs, names, and object types in downstream flow logic.
- Secure by Default All queries enforce CRUD and Field-Level Security using USER_MODE. Record updates go through Lightning Data Service. Users only see and edit what their profile permits.
- Consolidated Related Records View all related records across linked objects in a single, unified panel. Click any record to navigate directly to it, giving you full visibility without leaving the page.
