Hi there, You wont be able to achive this in the lightning UI. This can be done in classic but in lightning you got find another way like quick action.

Hope this helps!

You should be able to create a new quick action button. After this there are 2 ways to do it.
1) There is standard way. This is standard out of the box functionality in salesforce. The fields displayed will be dependent on the object kayout you are showing up in the POP-UP. Even in this we can pre-populate the fields that are necessary.
2) This is custom way to do it. Here you will have to create a lighting quick action component. Even in this if you create record event you can prepopulate the necessary fields.

Hope this helps!
