Customize Title column with JSON

Question

Currently my Title column has a link in it, but I need to make it bigger and change the font while keeping the href function (after clicking on the title it opens editing).

When I use "elmType": "a", the text disappears.

I found following script, but it does not work:

{
"$schema": "https://developer.microsoft.com/json-schemas/sp/v2/column- 
formatting.schema.json",
"elmType": "a",
"txtContent": "@currentField.desc",
"style": {
  "font-size": "13pt"
},
"attributes": {
  "href": "@currentField"
}
}

Anyone got a hint? Thank you.

You can use the below JSON to update the Title field.

Updated the JSON to open Edit Form on Title column value click.

{
  "$schema": "https://developer.microsoft.com/json-schemas/sp/v2/column-formatting.schema.json",
  "elmType": "button",
  "customRowAction": {
    "action": "editProps"
  },
  "style": {
    "border": "none",
    "background-color": "transparent",
    "font-size": "13pt",
    "text-decoration":"underline"
  },
  "txtContent": "@currentField"
}
