You can create a systemd mount service https://man.archlinux.org/man/systemd.mount.5.en

Re: Auto mounting hard disk partition without fstab

automount when?
removable drives are automounted by udisks when they are connected, but what is condition for automounting partition? They are already there, either you mount them automatically at boot using fstab or you mount them manually when you need them, but udisks wouldn't know when you need them.

I hope we are not confusing auto / manual with each other. In that case you can use "mount" command to mount the partitions when you need.
