try rubber bumpers on the back side of the doors that should leave a small space for you to open the doors without hardware

Lowes or Home Depot should have the type of catches you’re looking for. If they don’t any reputable lumber yard will. They make them for cabinet doors but you’ve stumped me on the drawers. I know that I’ve never installed any and I’m not certain what the value would be. Hope this helps.

The magnetic springs you are talking about will not work on as the doors/drawers can’t be pushed in any to release the catch. You are looking for something that is not going to work.
If you are dead against hardware I suggest you make a small finger rout in the appropriate position on your doors and drawers, probably won’t see this at all, touch up with matching stain,glaze. Think about where you will do this on each door on base and wall cabinets.
