Yes. Take a look at how the type=local cache import is implemented. It also loads OCI layout from client disk so the transfer parts should be reusable. First, it needs to be implemented in LLB, probably as extra property for the llb.Image. Then it can be plugging into Dockerfile and --build-context flag.

--build-context *=

That does not work well. First of all names are needed for the build-context mechanism exposed to frontends. Secondly, OCI has not even decided on a standard for naming multiple images within the OCI layout.

Sorry, but why not being able to specify a --build-context-like syntax inside of the Dockerfile's FROM itself?

I'm not sure what the example you provided is supposed to do but Dockerfile is a secure and portable build mechanism. It does not have permission to randomly start reading files from user's/host's disk.
