This is a misleading/mistaken reply. Desktop environments indeed do
offer this feature, but it's not meant to be "desktop environment
exclusive". In most cases they're leveraging "udisks", which provides
"udisksctl" that can be used to achieve this from the command line.
I would recommend udisks over pmount.
