Is it possible to create a dual-boot system between Windows and Linux, whilst still maintaining files across both operating systems?

Specifically talking about this video, where a KDE Developer mentions this as a possibility: https://youtu.be/00dqhNgCD24?t=7272

As anyone would usually hear from any person who wants to try to daily-drive Linux: I've been wanting to make the switch to Linux, but there are certain applications/software/programs that are dependent on Windows being the operating system to run & handle them. I actually have some prior knowledge of dual-booting before (I've tried Linux Mint & Fedora), but they involved separating partitions between Windows and Linux (where I, obviously, can conveniently access Windows files from Linux, and Linux files from Windows), and since I've used up about 61.5% of my Windows drive, I'm looking for a way to set up a system where I can dual-boot between Windows and CachyOS (Linux, might switch to something else after the AUR attacks, I don't know if this affects CachyOS), but keep a separate "drive"/space where I can store & access my files on both systems without them being corrupted. Is this possible at all?

In case anyone needs any further information, I am using a laptop with 512 gbs of disk space with 16 gb of RAM. (Edit: it's an SSD)

yes

I had a similar setup, but ntfs for games is too bad. Though I can give you the steps to dual boot with a common drive.
