Not really sure what you mean lando, but if you are talking about a guest being able to read files from the host you can use VBox shared folders, or setup a network share.

Yes you could use "raw disk access" look in the manual for createrawvmdk.
And READ the warning. If the partition is mounted in the guest and host it WILL be corrupted sooner or later.

Anyway ,if I get fine,raw access doesn't give access to real partition but to its image ....
VBoxManage internalcommands createrawvmdk -filename /path/to/file.vmdk -rawdisk /dev/sda
