Modern library item details/properties not accessible when embedded in page

Gilmour10 I don't know why there is this difference, I don't work for Microsoft. But there is a solution to this using JSON view formatting.

In your document library create a view and select Format current view from the views dropdown. In advanced mode delete what's already there and paste in the following JSON code:

{
  "$schema": "https://developer.microsoft.com/json-schemas/sp/view-formatting.schema.json",
  "hideSelection": true,
  "hideColumnHeader": true,
  "rowFormatter": {
    "elmType": "div",
    "style": {
      "flex": "0 0 170px",
      "display": "inline"
    },
    "children": [
      {
        "elmType": "button",
        "customRowAction": {
          "action": "editProps"
        },
        "txtContent": "Edit Properties",
         "style": {
          "background-color": "#e3e7e7",
          "width": "135px",
          "height": "32px",
          "margin": "10px 0"
        }
      },
      {
        "elmType": "button",
        "style": {
          "border": "None",
          "color": "#0077ff",
          "background-color": "transparent",
          "cursor": "pointer"
        },
        "txtContent": "[$FileLeafRef]",
        "customRowAction": {
          "action": "defaultClick"
        }
      }
    ]
  }
}

Then add a document library web part to your page and point it to your new view. That will give you the link to the document and also a button that opens the properties pane for that document:

Edit: for some reason the button in the web part doesn't seem to be clickable though it is from the library. I'll investigate.
