a BTRFS subvolume can be exported as a snapshot, and this can be passed around rather easily. i know the concern mounting BTRFS, but there are windows drivers for that as well, and you can also mount it via WSL nowadays, to have proper linux tooling.

the approach of having a custom storage blob with pointer references which is something i consider as well, will play around with that during the holidays and do some experimenting. thanks for your input.
