Need to create a link in admin that uses the WP thickbox WordPress
- SOLVED
I'm simply trying to link to a simple HTML file from my theme options page that will open in the thickbox that WordPress uses for the media upload on the edit post page. I could create my own but I think it makes more sense to just keep it consistent and use what's already there.
What would a link like this...
<a href="my-page.html">My Page</a>
...look like to open my-page.html in the WP thickbox?

try to add the thickbox class and see if it works:
<a href="my-page.html" class="thickbox">My Page</a>
This class already loaded in the admin panel

No luck. Already tried that. This link is not on the post edit page so I'm not sure if the same files are loaded throughout the entire WP back-end.

Update, this will work for you:
Add these in your options page, in order to load the thickbox script and stylesheet:
wp_enqueue_script('thickbox',null,array('jquery'));
wp_enqueue_style('thickbox.css', '/'.WPINC.'/js/thickbox/thickbox.css', null, '1.0');
Then, you shou open the link in frame and set the width and height you want:
<a href="my-page.html?TB_iframe=1&width=800&height=550" class="thickbox">My Page</a>
