Upper cabinet mods to keep the door open?

Hello, I'm trying to figure out a way to keep my kitchen cabinet doors open briefly. These are the ones above my interior sink. I thought of attaching a strong magnet to the ceiling and finding a metal door knob so they would connect. Another option is to install tiny struts. Thoughts?

Mine stay open by themselves on my 2018 T@B 400, but if they started falling down, I'd check the hinge first to see if there's an adjustment that could be made, and if not, I'd go with the something like this:

Thank you so much. Mine is a 2015 so yes they may need to be adjusted.Thanks again and happy camping!

I have a 2013 (so I think the same type of cabinets) and these hinges (with "stay open feature") solved the problem for me: https://amzn.to/3QeD7IqSan Francisco Bay Area
