UNC paths can be used almost anywhere in the file API. What specifically isn't
working?

Without using ctypes or PyWin32, you could resolve the root directory on drives
A-Z to find the shortest matching path. This would also work with SUBST drives.
For example:
def resolve_mapped(path):
path = pathlib.Path(path).resolve()
mapped_paths = []
for drive in 'ZYXWVUTSRQPONMLKJIHGFEDCBA':
root = pathlib.Path('{}:/'.format(drive))
try:
mapped_paths.append(root / path.relative_to(root.resolve()))
except (ValueError, OSError):
pass
return min(mapped_paths, key=lambda x: len(str(x)), default=path)
