Change woocommerce "add to cart" button functionality to only forward to product page

Question

Hello, I would like to change the functionality of the "Add to Cart" button to only forward to the product page without adding to the cart

add_filter( 'woocommerce_loop_add_to_cart_link', 'redirect_to_product_page', 10, 2 );
 
function redirect_to_product_page( $link, $product ) {
    global $woocommerce;
    $product_cat = wp_get_post_terms( $product->get_id(), 'product_cat', array( 'fields' => 'slugs' ) );
    $product_cat = isset( $product_cat[0] ) ? $product_cat[0] : '';
    $link = get_site_url() . '/product/' . $product_cat . '/' . $product->get_slug() . '/';
    return $link;
}

This is the code I tried but it just replaces "add to cart" with the correct url

You can remove the button and put it back with your own information. This also allows you to change the button text:

add_action('init', 'remove_loop_button');
function remove_loop_button(){
    remove_action('woocommerce_after_shop_loop_item', 'woocommerce_template_loop_add_to_cart', 10);
}

add_action('woocommerce_after_shop_loop_item', 'replace_add_to_cart');
function replace_add_to_cart() {
    global $product;
    $button_text = 'View Product';
    echo '<a class ="button product_type_simple add_to_cart_button ajax_add_to_cart" href="' . $product->get_permalink() . '">' . $button_text . '</a><br/>';
}
