I need to be able to identify the partition address and its file
address, particularly when I have two drives on-line.

I tried a variety of live devices. Antix was the only one that came
close.

But years ago I remember a file manager that would allow the user to
use a single click to switch the contents of the address line at the
top from say /home/fred to /dev/sdb2 or back. I could not re-locate it.

Does this strike a chord?
