Small Vertical Open Hinge

Ive been looking at vertical open stay hinges to hold open a door that opens upwards. Problem is that it is a very small door, and many hinge mechanisms that I'm seeing are too big. The cabinet interior dimensions are 6.5" tall and 5.25" deep. All the hinges I've found so far violate one or the other. Anyone seen one before that would work or have other suggestions for me? I'm about to have to rebuild that cabinet to have the door open downward, but that isn't ideal from a location standpoint and I hate the thought of all the rework. Cost isn't much of an object either, since the right expensive hinge is cheaper than my other options.
Thanks!

This isn't mine, but same idea, only mine isn't near as big.

Yeah, something like that is exactly what I've been looking for but haven't found one small enough. So here asking for help... I think this was the closest I've found, but it is too big by 5mm when closed...

The image you posted is an inset door. If you have overlay doors, this (AVENTOS HK-S) may work. It says it can work on cabinets 7 3/8 and up.

Here is another option, but you need 5 5/16. So you need 1/16" to make it work. (Hafele Duo Standard)

Thanks for calling that out, I didn't notice the inset. Ours is an overlay. Thanks for the links. The Aventos looks like it is too deep for our application, it says it needs 6.5" depth and we only have 5.25".

The Hfele looks like it might work, but wow, that would be super close. Like within mm. I'm still looking that that might be a last option.

Does the 5.25 include the face frame or is that the internal dimension?

Internal dimensions.

And yes, saw that rockler one but trying to keep with all hidden hinges.
