- I need to put a link on the site when in mobile to allow the customer to view the desktop version. Is this possible?

Only in some of our really old templates... in Gantry 4 you do have the option to load your site as Responsive or 1200px or 960px... so you could create an entire clone of the site in one of the other versions... not the best solution though
The bigger question is why? Is there one piece of content in particular that you care about? Perhaps you could build it another page which loads a different view of that content for mobile users... - SEARCH the forum first! These boards are rich in knowledge and vast in topics.

I have few of my customers asking for the same type of switch. The Goal ? well, being able to do it is a plus if the viewer want to do exactly that.
2 Years ago Henning propose something like that in this post...
—> www.rockettheme.com/forum/joomla-templat...witch?start=0#955895
Simply a link that will be:
<a href="/index.php/index.php?layout-mode=responsive">responsive</a>
or
<a href="/index.php/index.php?layout-mode=1200fixed">1200 fixed</a>
Matt, do you mean by your answer that it’s more complicated with Gantry 5 ? - Graphic Designer - Marketing -Web Sites — Trying to become a decent human being.

Gantry 5 simply doesn't do "fixed" sites... it's 2016 after all
You can lock down your media queries so the site always stays/appears "fixed" but there is no way to toggle the frontend output from fixed to responsive or vice versa - SEARCH the forum first!

Interesting idea for a responsive website. Condensed responsive websites doen't always have a better UX than desktop.
Would it be possible to trick the media queries by using a javascript snippet to force a wider/desktop viewport?

I would argue that responsive website are almost always, like 99%, a better UX for mobile users...
But yes, in Gantry 5 you have full control over all the Media Query breakpoints... this isn't something that can be change dynamically on the frontend... with jQuery or any other method... at least not natively... if you wanted to set a parent class and then write a BUNCH of CSS to Override the media queries... and then used jQuery to change that Parent class onClick thus kicking in, or turning off, your CSS... then I suppose you could get something working... maybe...
But, if you just want to prevent your site from ever collapsing I believe you can just set all your Breakpoints to 0 -
