    automan25 You can open the document set properties on button click using editProps action. 

     

    For example: 

     

    {
  "$schema": "https://developer.microsoft.com/json-schemas/sp/v2/column-formatting.schema.json",
  "elmType": "button",
  "txtContent": "View Properties",
  "customRowAction": {
    "action": "editProps"
  }
}

    Output:

So, that definitely works to open up the form in 'edit' mode. That may work in the end but I was hoping to find a way to open the form in 'view' mode instead.

automan25 Unfortunately, there is no action available in JSON formatting to open it in view mode.

    Bit surprising , what would happen if the user doens't have edit rights on the document set. They will be forced to use the OOTB way.

      You can try using defaultClick action in customRowAction property. Example: 

       

      {
  "$schema": "https://developer.microsoft.com/json-schemas/sp/v2/column-formatting.schema.json",
  "elmType": "button",
  "txtContent": "View Properties",
  "customRowAction": {
    "action": "defaultClick"
  }
}

      defaultClick: buttons with this action will do the same thing as clicking the list item in an uncustomized view. Above is an example of a button that, when clicked, simulates a click on the item, which results in opening the list item. Adding this example button to a document library simulates a click on the file or folder, which results in the file or folder being opened.
