I actually tried this approach before and it didn't seem to work the way we needed, but I realized that's because PropertyAssetCtrl wasn't handling missing assets properly. I fixed a few issues there including showing the error button when the asset can't be found, and fixing a broken reference to the error icon file.

A "property name" is the name of the just the property without regard to the group that it's in. A "group name" is the name of the group. And a "property ID" is the full unique name of a property in the form "groupName.propertyName". This is important preparation for upcoming changes where property sets can contain other property sets, and property IDs can be arbitrarily long like "layer1.baseColor.factor" for example.
The naming changes include variables, some code comments, and the .materialtype file format. I was able to make these changes in a backward compatible way so a property or group "id" field has been replaced with a "name" field, but "id" is still supported for compatibility. StandardPBR, EnhancedPBR, StandardMultilayerPBR, and Skin have all been updated. Note that MinimalPBR has not been updated, proving that backward compatibility works. (We can update this one too at some point though).
Testing:
Opened up materials in the material editor.
Ran AtomSampleViewer in dx12 and vulkan with no new failures.
