Windows users should update 7-Zip to version 25.00 or later to fix two significant “path traversal” vulnerabilities (CVE-2025-11001 and CVE-2025-11002) that can allow remote code execution, caused by the handling of symbolic links in ZIP files.
Yeah, junctions would be most similar to a mount point. Though you can also mount one directory under another, so it’s more like a directory hardlink in that case.
And symlinks were actually introduced in Vista, but for some reason you needed to be an Admin to create one. With Win10 they removed that restriction, but for some reason kept it behind a “developer mode” anyway, it’s strange.

It sounds a lot like a bind mount at filesystem level
