Hello,
First off, thank you for creating and maintaining this useful and versatile software. I'm unaware of anything else like it, especially with regard to the strategies you employed for hooking into linux ramdisks, etc.
Have you ever taken a look at the plop-kexec bootloader? It's essentially a linux kernel and ramdisk that provides a convenient way to load any kernel that kexec supports.

I think it might be a good addition to Ventoy, perhaps to be invoked via hotkey/toggle in the same way wimboot mode is selected. Given how ventoy works, I think it is a natural fit. Ventoy could patch the appropriate scripts to kexec back to it when the user reboots, too. I use kexec myself to load iPXE in certain situations, as well.
