How to call modal dialog from inside Flask function

Question

With the Bootstrap modal dialog's id="myModal":

<div id="myModal" class="modal fade" role="dialog">
...
</div>

I can call it by clicking a simple <a>. It happens because <a>s data-target attribute is linked to the modal dialog's id myModal :

<a data-toggle="modal" data-target="#myModal">Click Here</a>

I wonder if there is a way to call this modal dialog by its id from inside of Flask python function.

@app.route('/call_modal', methods=['GET', 'POST'])
def call_modal():
    # ... call modal dialog by its id?

You can use another modal plugin to make it work, such as Remodal. Similarly as Bootstrap modal, every modal has an id, you can call it as an anchor, like this: //example.com#myModal.

In your view.py:

@app.route('/call_modal', methods=['GET', 'POST'])
def call_modal():
    redirect(url_for('index') + '#myModal')
