What is the motivation for creating a Linux live CD that boots Windows

Hello
I'd like to make a custom Grub menu for a Linux liveCD such that it scanned for
any Windows installations (ranging from XP to 11) in all detected disks and
partitions of the PC, so to use a $var which value depends whether there are no
Windows installations or at least one. Then using this $var as boot parameter
for the Linux liveCD.
At first I imagine it'd be a matter of scanning for any existing "Windows
bootloaders" in all the existing partitions, or something like that...
But, could this be possible and practical?
Thanks.
I use a live CD, of my own choice, mainly for "rescue" or restore
purposes; booting in rigs with installed Windows, Linux, or both (dual
boots). And I'm looking for an automatic logic like this: "scan
partitions; at least one Windows partition found, set live system's
hwclock to local; else set to UTC".
Are you against this?
