An interesting question. - Being curious I searched for "mount sqlite
on file system" and got a couple links; the first one was >>https://adamobeng.com/wddbfs-mount-a-sqlite-database-as-a-filesystem/
Maybe it's of some use. (Or maybe some other links of that search.)

I can't quite tell from your post whether or not you actually read the link given above. I just did and (tl;dr) basically agree with you that it looks clunky, but I suppose that a) It is intended as proof-of-concept and b)
It's the sort of thing that appeals to people who like "Everything is a web app" kind of thinking. I'm guessing that neither you nor I fall into that classification.
That said, it looks like it is a two-step process:
1) You run his little utility - which is, of course, a black box to
most of us. It looks like it is written in Python, so it would be,
in theory at least, readable/understandable as-is. I.e., don't
need to go looking around for the source.
2) Then you "mount" it ("it" being the output of the previous step)
somewhere on the filesystem, and then you get what you want.
The details of step 2 are not specified; you are expected to already know
all about how that stuff (mounting "WebDAV" thingies) works already.
So, all in all, probably not of much use to either you or I.
