First of all, where is the documentation for Ajax.* methods in asp.net mvc?
Can Ajax.ActionLink be used to call an action, get a partial view, open a modal window and put the content in it?

Html. ActionLink creates a hyperlink on a view page and the user clicks it to navigate to a new URL. It does not link to a view directly, rather it links to a controller's action.
ActionLink is rendered as an HTML Anchor Tag (HyperLink) and hence it produces a GET request to the Controller's Action method which cannot be used to submit (post) Form in ASP.Net MVC 5 Razor. Hence in order to submit (post) Form using @Html. ActionLink, a jQuery Click event handler is assigned and when the @Html.
If you need to pass through the reference to an object that is stored on the server, then try setting a parameter of the link to give a reference to the object stored on the server, that can then be retrieved by the action (example, the Id of the menuItem in question).
Sure, a very similar question was asked before. Set the controller for ajax requests:
public ActionResult Show() { if (Request.IsAjaxRequest()) { return PartialView("Your_partial_view", new Model()); } else { return View(); } } Set the action link as wanted:
@Ajax.ActionLink("Show", "Show", null, new AjaxOptions { HttpMethod = "GET", InsertionMode = InsertionMode.Replace, UpdateTargetId = "dialog_window_id", OnComplete = "your_js_function();" }) Note that I'm using Razor view engine, and that your AjaxOptions may vary depending on what you want. Finally display it on a modal window. The jQuery UI dialog is suggested.
