Unfortunately in order for Linux to incorporate such a feature I'd
imagine a new filesystem would need to be developed with redirect on
write at its core. Can't really see ext4 or any other existing Linux
filesystem grafting such a feature into it. But even though I can't
see it; do others?

FUSE-based filesystems. (That said, might wanna try through
"ZFS-on-fuse" fs).
