I would like to plug an external drive (or, like in the pic, hot swap an internal drive in a 3.5 docker for 2.5 ssd's)..

Exactly! That is my idea..
..low capacity SSd's or, if the game is less than 32GB, the idea is to use those really fast USB 3 flash drives that outperform the most electromechanical 2.5 hdd's
I really miss the beautiful Plug'n'Play simplicity of the good old days of the gaming consoles like the Sega Genesis or Snes.
And this is why I hate modern consoles...
I have a similar idea for my steam library..

For example for a USB Drive(the one I use mostly) to run a local script.sh just in case if you want to have the launcher located on your pc.
sudo nano /etc/udev/rules.d/11autorunusb.rules
ACTION=="add", SUBSYSTEM=="usb_device",RUN+="/usr/bin/local/script.sh"
But in case you want to go hot swap I guess is a bit more complicate something like this (havent test it)
create another /etc/udev/rules.d/22hotswap.rules:
# mount-devices
KERNEL=="sd[a-z][0-9]", ENV{ID_MODEL_ID}=="yourmodelid", ENV{ID_VENDOR_ID}=="yourvendorid", ACTION=="add", ENV{mount_options}="relatime", RUN+="/usr/bin/local/script.sh"
