Do you mean "none of GNOME Disks and Nautilus", or "not all of GNOME
Disks and Nautilus"?
I cannot see why GNOME Disks (or even Nautilus) could not provide
this feature. May you please clarify?

As long as this is only stored in memory, for the duration of a Tails
session, this would be great. But I would not want to see that
available to all GNOME users around there, as it basically kills
plausible deniability. So, given we probably don't want to maintain
a delta with GNOME on this front, I doubt this is the way to go.
I'd be happy to be taught otherwise, though :)

I suspect this would lead to a painful user experience.
