How can I open an item I just created via an action?

Hi all,

I have a client method that calls a server method to create an item based off some properties on the context item.

How can I display the new item in a tab after it is created by the server method?

  Thanks for this, I guess I am unclear on how to return the ID of the new item from the server side method to the client side method that called it.
