Yes, and that "something" is called "operating system".
It is between annoying and idiotic to implement this in every
single application, and from my side unless someone knows a
trivial, clean, certainly side-effect-free way at the minimum
would need evidence that more than one operating system has
such issue.
You might be able to try other variants like MacFUSE + smbfs or similar
in case they work better.
