Not sure but may be that you simply want a one-click way to bring up a file
manager with access to files on a separate partition.  If that is so, what
ever the mount point is, (the directory where those files reside), will be
what you want to use and may be just a symlink to the desktop will do what
you want.
   ln -s /path/to/files ~/Desktop
