I was thinking more along the lines of using namespaces and FUSE. I'm aware that Python kinda treats them like folders transparently, but not completely for reasons (and more) that you described.

That's a cool idea. Wonder what the FUSE equivalent for windows is.

  Probably Windows Projected FileSystem: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/projfs/projected-file-system https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/projfs/proje...

  There seem to be two popular FUSE-like things for Windows: https://github.com/dokan-dev/dokany https://github.com/dokan-dev/dokany and https://github.com/winfsp/winfsp https://github.com/winfsp/winfsp. Both implement a FUSE compatibility API in addition to their own API. A 2016 comparison by the developer of WinFsp says WinFsp is several times faster in performance tests [1]. According to the readme for Donaky [2], since then Dokany got faster.
