Rendering Volumes file content programmatically

Hi there!

I have some files stored in Volume, and I have a use case that I need to show the file content in a UI.  Say I have a REST API that already knows the Volume path to the file, is there any built-in feature from Databricks that i can use to help get the content?

one of the limitations Unity Catalog Volumes has is: "The DBFS endpoint for the REST API does not support volumes paths.",  what does this imply to my use case?

Thank you!
