As always on Linux you have different possibilities. Most big Desktop Environment’s like KDE / GNOME / Cinnamon … can mount devices automatically or on a click on the device. No need for additional entries in fstab.
If you however want a more general approach you can use systemd’s automount or a fixed mountpount using fstab.
Most normal Desktop User’s will be totally fine with the DE Solutions.
I use my secondary and tertiary drives for steam and I boot my machine to big picture mode on startup so I need them to auto mount. Having to navigate to the file manager and clicking on them is not the same.
