Yes. Probably the API should also cover interactive workspace
browsing; I think https://issues.jenkins-ci.org/browse/JENKINS-25224
is sufficiently related that they should be investigated together.

Another use case would be EC2 slaves using EBS. If the slave is
configured to take a snapshot of the workspace before exiting, another
slave (or several concurrently) could cheaply create new volumes based
on that snapshot. And the Jenkins master could permit workspace
browsing long after the build is complete and the slaves have been
discarded, by reserving a single EC2 machine which just attaches
volumes for workspace snapshots on demand and serves content from
them.
