There are several reasonable ways to let someone open a group from a row in a table. The row name could be the link. A View button could sit at the end of the row. The whole row could be clickable.
Each has a tradeoff, and the tradeoffs are hard to argue in the abstract. A clickable row is the fastest to hit but makes it easy to open something by accident. A View button is unmistakable but adds a column.
Every option was built into a single prototype behind a picker. Reviewers switch between them against the same data, in the same layout, and say which one they prefer.
This turns a design debate into something people can try. It also surfaces the problems that only appear in use, like an option that feels fine on a short list and becomes tedious on a long one.
