You would not lose the ability to link to files int the MacOS file system
if you know in advance which filesystems you'd like.
You can map local directories to the Docker container - but it can't be
done on the fly - needs to be specified at run time.

Most likely you will lose the ability to link to emails.

You can reference this URL to get started:

I have a draft blog post which focuses on the steps to get zim running
which is partially completed:

Hopefully the two articles above will be enough to help you get started.
