Ventoy's .vlnk allows the bootable partition to reference ISOs saved to a local drive (or other drive), but the local drive is encrypted with Bitlocker. Is there a way for Ventoy to either prompt for the Bitlocker recovery code, or better yet, save it in a secure form and apply it automatically (or somehow enroll with the TPM to get the decryption keys released on boot)?
