Recent versions of Power BI Desktop have included a preview feature to "Store datasets using enhanced metadata format" which stores the model metadata in a JSON format. However, since the PBIX file is in a proprietary Zip format, you just can't open it and peek inside.

It looks something like this:
Most of these files can then be opened with a text editor.
