Description
Basically, if an SQL query (one with geometry) is saved as a view, then loaded as a layer, the identify tool selects the feature appropriately, but does not open the feature form.
Obviously it can't open it for editing, as views are read-only, but this is inconsistent with the action on other layers which are locked for editing where the tool still opens a read-only version of the form.
If the identify tool opens the side-bar (usually because it has selected more than one feature), all the data is there.
If the attribute table is opened in form view, all the data is there.
The properties dialogue for the layer allows form design.
All this seems inconsistent with the behaviour of the identify tool.

Tested in 3.4 issue is still there. A workaround is to create another layer with identical geometry and join it to the view. As a workaround exists, I suggest perhaps a low priority.
