Answer 1

You Just need to create a custom sub panel in your custom module.
target list is ProspectLists module.
Follow this link to create custom module.

1. Create a new link class
This should go into custom/modules//YourNewLink.php and this class will act as the custom functionality that will build your link between the two records.
<?php
/**
* Custom filtered link
*/
class YourNewLink extends Link2
{
/**
* DB
*
* #var DBManager
*/
protected $db;
public function __construct($linkName, $bean, $linkDef = false)
{
$this->focus = $bean;
$this->name = $linkName;
$this->db = DBManagerFactory::getInstance();
if (empty($linkDef)) {
$this->def = $bean->field_defs[$linkName];
} else {
$this->def = $linkDef;
}
}
/**
* Returns false if no relationship was found for this link
*
* #return bool
*/
public function loadedSuccesfully()
{
// this link always loads successfully
return true;
}
/**
* #see Link2::getRelatedModuleName()
*/
public function getRelatedModuleName()
{
return '<Your_Module>';
}
/**
*
* #see Link2::buildJoinSugarQuery()
*/
public function buildJoinSugarQuery($sugar_query, $options = array())
{
$joinParams = array('joinType' => isset($options['joinType']) ? $options['joinType'] : 'INNER');
$jta = 'active_other_invites';
if (!empty($options['joinTableAlias'])) {
$jta = $joinParams['alias'] = $options['joinTableAlias'];
}
$sugar_query->joinRaw($this->getCustomJoin($options), $joinParams);
return $sugar_query->join[$jta];
}
/**
* Builds main join subpanel
* #param string $params
* #return string JOIN clause
*/
protected function getCustomJoin($params = array())
{
$bean_id = $this->db->quoted($this->focus->id);
$sql = " INNER JOIN(";
$sql .= "SELECT id FROM accounts WHERE id={$bean_id}"; // This is essentially a select statement that will return a set of ids that you can match with the existing sugar_query
$sql .= ") accounts_result ON accounts_result.id = sugar_query_table.id";
return $sql;
}
2. Add a new vardef entry for the link field.
For this example, I'm going to create the custom link on the contacts module. So this code goes in custom/Extension/modules/Contacts/Ext/Vardefs/your_field_name.php
<?php
$dictionary["Contact"]["fields"]["your_field_name"] = array(
'name' => 'active_other_invites',
'type' => 'link',
'link_file' => 'custom/modules/<YourModule>/YourNewLink.php',
'link_class' => 'YourNewLink',
'source' => 'non-db',
'vname' => 'LBL_NEW_LINK',
'module' => '<YourModule>',
'link_type' => 'many',
'relationship' => '',
);
3. Add the new link as a subpanel
This goes under custom/Extension/modules/Contacts/Ext/clients/base/layouts/subpanels/your_subpanel_name.php
<?php
$viewdefs['Contacts']['base']['layout']['subpanels']['components'][] = array (
'layout' => 'subpanel',
'label' => 'LBL_NEW_LINK',
'context' =>
array (
'link' => 'your_field_name',
),
);
4. Add the label
Under custom/Extension/modules/Contacts/Ext/Language/en_us.new_link.php
<?php
$mod_strings['LBL_ACTIVE_OTHER_INVITES'] = 'Your New Link';
