Hello,

There are several ways to get access Juypter Notebook from Azure offerings as bellow:

But unfortunately, I don't think any of them supports clickable UI as File system in UI. But you can call you data in code, it is the same as normal.
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/storage/blobs/authorize-data-operations-portal

One way you can manage your data as clickable UI as File system is you can go to data blob/ container directly.

Also, please feel free to share the scenario you want to do this, I will help to forward this feedback to engineering group for future development.
