There are two easy options.
Ctrl + right click on plank and go to preferences. There is a show desktop docklet.
Hot corner solution. Install wmctrl
sudo apt install wmctrl
Then you can use wmctrl -k on in the custom command box.

It seems that as of now, elementary designs hot-corners to work like wingpanel and the dock and show them only on the primary display.

They say:
Window overview => Will show only the windows on your current virtual desktop
Show all windows => Will show all the windows on all of your virtual desktops

You can set in Settings/Desktop under the Hot Corners tab (I put pantheon-terminal but you can choose gnome-terminal as well if you have installed it):

In Terminal, without installing anything:

There is a way and it is actually has been explained in I believe /org/pantheon/desktop/behavior which is seems like settings area that we can access with dconf-editor (or you can see .xml version of it at /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas/org.pantheon.desktop.gala.gschema.xml)
It says;

I've got the following script from this article:

Save the script:
#!/bin/bash
status="$(wmctrl -m | grep "showing the desktop" | sed -r 's/(.*)(ON|OFF)/\2/g'...

I don't think there is a possibility to trigger selectively. However as a workaround, you could use a custom command that would start by checking if the alt key is held down and trigger the action if and only if…

I came looking for a solution to showing the desktop in a single key press and the solution of mapping wmctrl -k on to SUPER + D got the job done. Quite handy if you have a really funky conky monitoring configuration running on the desktop.
Note that the above seems to be a half solution though.
