I play Guild Wars 2 through WINE, using the fan pack on the official forums. There is an addon that I would like to run, called TacO, which overlays itself on top of the game window.
It's a separate .exe from the game. On a different Lutris build I tried to run the exe inside the same wine prefix, but it didn't work. As I don't know much about WINE and google is failing me, I was hoping the forum goers here would have a clue as to how to do this.

That would be so good! Using TacO is the only thing I miss from playing on Windows.

That's fine! Thank you :)

Here's what I get as of DXVK 1.5.1:
