feat: Open Page in Modal-Style

Feature Request

Ionic version:

[x] 5.x

Describe the Feature Request

The Idea is to use a modal globally in the app. Currently a modal depends on a specific page, can’t be lazy loaded and the same modal can’t be used on another page without copying it. So the idea is to add an option to make it possible to let a page appear as a modal.

Describe Preferred Solution

Maybe a parameter that can be passed to the NavController.

await this.navController.navigateForward('/foo', {
    showAsModal: true
});

Describe Alternatives

Alternative is to use the ModalController, but it has some disadvantages like mentioned before.

history.push is just the web’s standard history API, so providing an animation here will not work. Regarding React, we are working on significant updates to routing in React, so the per-page animation feature will be available when that ships (soon).
