Add a control similar to the one found here: http://demo.aspnetawesome.com/LookupDemo/Index I believe that all the components needed to create this control already exist, then it would suffice to encapsulate in a single control (plus a template for the form of research) It would be something similar to edit popup already exists for the grid, except that would be linked to a texbox (or dropdownlist)

Hi Folks,
The requirements defined under the lookup control can be implemented using the ComboxBox component - it allows typing, filtering, shortlisting and selecting value from a predefined list.
Feel free to share any scenarios that are missing so that we can consider them for the product roadmap.
Kind Regards,

A Lookup control is really a must especially when dealing with large datasets. The Lookup control should have as minimum Key / Value stored (similar to DropDownList). The "pop-up" search should be template-able (to add multiple fields in the search grid / define datasource). A nice touch would be to have some easy interface to define dependency rather than leaving all to custom javascript (that should be left possible anyway). Dependency should allow a Lookup Control to clear its value or filter its pop-up search / results using a value of another lookup control (or another control value in general) may be leveraging some existing library such as Knockout.js / Knockout.mvc.
Devex has also some where combo/lookup is combined with grid and sorting/filtering/paging inside grid on dropdown is available out of box...
