Is there a solution to mount archives as a virtual drive?

Question

Windows

Is there a solution similar to Windows disk compression technology, but with more advanced archiving.
That is, such an archive, which could be accessed using the driver or operating system, get a list of files, copy\delete\modify files, and mount such an archive as a virtual disk.

Answer 1

The purpose of an archive is to find duplicate information and reduce it. How is it possible to recalculate all the files in the archive entirely on the fly, and even progressively, without brakes when copying and deleting a file?
No way.

Answer 2

You can try to make a regular VHD container and apply this thing to it
