I found a solution, but only if you dual-boot with Linux and use grub. Just install grub-customizer. And start grub-customizer, and add this entry as "other" then save, then quit. Pretty sure you can do this with terminal too but
search.fs_uuid your-uuid-of-uefi root
chainloader /EFI/Boot/BOOTX64.EFI
Also confirmed this was working with systemd-boot too. But not exactly like this.
