I cannot reproduce this. 

I have an external disk that holds the data which is called PORTABLE_B  and on
it a (sub)folder called "Brother's Keeper". My DATA folder is under this one.

- Linux mounts the disk as /media/leon/PORTABLE_B.
- Windows sees it as D:\

Within winecfg I can add a drive D: pointing to /media/leon/PORTABLE_B/.

In Brother's Keeper (7.5.9) I can now browse to D: and select the DATA folder
from under Brother's Keeper, just as in Windows so my path references inside
the database point all to the same location (D:\BROTHER'S KEEPER\DATA).

I've tested it even by moving the installation to a sub-sub folder
(BK/Brother's Keeper) and still could point all instances to the same folder
with D: pointing to  /media/leon/PORTABLE_B/BK.

I can move the disk (1TB USB exFAT) between Windows XP or Windows 7 and Linux
Mint 20.2 'Uma' or Linux Mint 20.3 'Una' without issues.

Questions: 
- is your K: also mountable from /media (as /media/jervin/DDrive)?
- in your BK screenshot you select drive Z, not drive K?
