macOS equivalent for Linux "mount --bind"

I am looking for a way to create a new mount point for a directory similar to the mount --bind command in Linux. In Linux, mount --bind creates a so-called bind mount which takes an existing directory tree and replicates it under a different point. The directories and files in the bind mount *are the same as the original*. Any modification on one side is immediately reflected on the other side, since the two views show the same data. A symlink won't work because I'm working with Docker and Docker disallows symlinks when building images from a Dockerfile. I prefer solutions that work on macOS Sonoma.
