You can set it to do that. Same as you do in windows when you assign a drive letter, it then will automount that drive. You can do that in Linux in the disks tool
Depending on your desktop environment you can, on linux as a whole no you can't. Helpfully gnome disks has a nifty button (thats buried under a bunch of context menus) but KDE does not unless it was just added in the last year. (i had to go though a whole bunch of stupid fstab bullshit to get my drive to auto mount when I setup my bazzite install)
GNOME has user session defaults that can automount, but also YAST partitioner can play with fstab if you want.
I hate fstab it seems needlessly complicated but I like the gui you got there. Much easier to click a button and move on with life. I'll have to give that a go.
