How to query delta lake using SQL desktop tools like SSMS or DBVisualizer

Is there a way to use sql desktop tools? because delta OSS or databricks does not provide desktop client (similar to azure data studio) to browse and query delta lake objects.

I currently use databricks SQL , a webUI in the databricks workspace but searching for means beyond that, especially for end business users who are familiar with SSMS type clients.

So little late on this thread but it looks like vscode has a plugin that allows you to connect to Databricks unity catalog.  The only issue is that I can only seem to attach to a specific catalog not the top level unity catalog.
