What I mean by passing argument from the view to the controller is this 
(let us consider in my view):


(1) <td width="40%"><a 
 href="{{=URL('my_controler_def',args=id)}}">Apply</a></td>

(2) <button onclick='window.open("{{=URL("my_controler_def",args=id)}}", 
"mywindow");'>Apply</button>


In the above (1) is calling that URL with an argument id. (2) is a button, 
when I click on that, it goes to the controller function my_controler_def, 
and in my_controler_def I will have that "id" argument passed on.

I was hoping to do the same with the model. That with a button I can pass 
an argument from my view to the controller modal_content
