It's possible with 'mount -o session=N ...' under Linux. It should be
noted that there is another "DVD" limitation when it comes to session=N
mounting of DVD multi-session disks. The catch is that TOC is internaly
always taken in minute:second:frame format and then translated to LBA...
session=N therefore fails if corresponding and subsequent sessions start
at or beyond the 256*60*75*2048=2.2GB boundary. Once again, this is
session=N specific issue! I mean it's never a problem to mount without
session=N option even if the last session starts beyond the line.

Why not -old-root alone? I mean -old-root argument would be
not-yet-existing catalog and the one where old and deleted file will so
to say "go to," not so to say "taken from." A.
