In the calendar module I can see they return an additional key 'flags'.

Edit: I got the chance to test it, as I received a similar task, and I can confirm that the below flags do the trick.

calendar/calendar.py

def open_after_detach_event(self, cr, uid, ids, context=None):
    ...
    return {
        'type': 'ir.actions.act_window',
        'res_model': 'calendar.event',
        'view_mode': 'form',
        'res_id': new_id,
        'target': 'current',
        'flags': {'form': {'action_buttons': True, 'options': {'mode': 'edit'}}}
    }

I don't think that you can open edit view directly.

Edit is working in Odoo like this, when you start editing you are not editing actual record its something like virtual one (copied example of real) and after pressing save you are updating records in db.

So you cant just open edit view on virtual record using action return that's impossible using standard methods.

Try this in /web/static/src/js/view_form.js (line no :116) change value of initial_mode value from view to edit. It will affect all form views.

 _.defaults(this.options, {
        "not_interactible_on_create": false,
        // "initial_mode": "view",
        "initial_mode": "edit",
        "disable_autofocus": false,
        "footer_to_buttons": false,
    });

Hope it will solve your problem.
