[FIX] board: open form view of given action

It is possible in a dashboard item to open a form view of a record.

The view did not take into account the action used to display the item,
so for example: from a customer invoice clicking on a record would
display the "Vendor Bill" instead of "Customer Invoice" view.

With this fix, when a view is being loaded to be displayed in the
dashboard, we save a reference to a possible form view and if the form
view is displayed, we use this reference.
