Unless the objective of VirtualBox is to be a legacy Virtualization Software, you HAVE to implement this. Now, changing the Priority to "minor" will not help this to happen, will ya? :(
VHDX is supported readonly only, you cannot directly attach it to a VM. Either convert it to another format first (VDI, VHD) or attach it as an immutable image so it gets a differencing image created to store written data from the guest.
