Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I want to be able to access a Linux file system in Windows because I dualboot my machine, but the drive with Linux on it also contains an NTFS partition called Data.

Describe the solution you'd like
Allow the "wsl --mount" command to mount specific partitions of a drive instead of requiring that the drive be unused by Windows.

Describe alternatives you've considered
There are other pieces of software that can do this, but they're few and far between and one of the better solutions (DiskInternals Linux Reader) has an upsell.

Additional context
There's not much else to say. I don't know if this is possible, because there may be some underlying architecture things that prevent disks that are being used by Windows from being mounted by WSL in any capacity.
