Since Ventoy 1.0.67, in Ventoy main menu, you can press F2 to directly browse and boot files in local disk.
Ventoy uses the Vlnk mechanism to boot files in local disk, you can refer Boot Ventoy Vlnk File for details.
The plugins (Menu alias, Menu tip, Persistnce, Auto install ...) can not be used when you browse and boot files. Use the above Vlnk mechanism if you need it.
