I assume that you have already dug into fstab and mtab, You might be able to adapt one of the two methods given in this page. I use them to automount external HDDs, because then I can just flick a switch on a power strip, rather than running mount commands. If you don't worry about other people using your stuff and messing up everything, this might work okay for you, if you adapt the appropriate lines to your needs. https://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/linux-newbie-8/how-can-i-automount-my-drives-in-debian-4175436306/ When I want to shut off those external drives, them I run a umount command that unmounts all external drives at once. An optical drive (CD/DVD/BD) is a little different, I think, because you aren't mounting the disc image, but rather trying to get the system to recognize your DVD-drive itself. But since it's an external USB drive, this seems like it might work in the same way.
