How to trigger the create project popup with JIRA plugin?

Question

Within the JIRA java API is it possible to make JIRA bring up the project creation menu on a method call? Is there a link to the project creation dialog to which one might redirect a request?

Does there exist a JavaScript trigger that one can attach to the click event of the button? Something like this:

AJS.$("#web-item-key").click(function(e){
    e.preventDefault();
    // trigger Create Project dialog
});

But what do I set the link and param target elements of the web item module (in atlassian-plugin.xml) to so that the web item will link to the create project dialog?

You have to add your own button using web-item module in the UI somewhere, based on what your plugin does. The button will be similar to the standard 'Create' button JIRA has.
