Yes, I have VLC and that has NFS as a network connection method.
 There may be file managers that will do it. Or maybe not - most
 folk probably want to connect to a Win machine and are happy with
 SMB. Look on RPi forums.

Googling, I found a few sketchy blogs, mainly old, about
 connecting a drive _outside_ an app, using busybox for example.
 But as you expect you need root access. And connecting it
 automatically requires some cunning scripting. So - not easy -
 and probably doesn't work any more.
