Grub2 Install Windows Iso Windows 7

I'm trying to boot an ISO containing a Linux live system from an existing NTFS partition on a PC. The PC has UEFI, and the hard disk is partitioned with GPT, so GRUB4DOS is not an option. Can this be done at all?
I know that the question has been asked before: Grub - boot debian iso file from ntfs partition and install it, but there is no approved answers there - that's why I'm asking again. Also I would like to use my own kernel instead of some fixed and precompiled one.
From the other answers it seems like I would need to include some sort of customized kernel file (I assume place it to EFI partition), which is then capable of loading the rest of the ISO(?) from the NTFS itself.
This can be done on FAT partition already, by simply doing a GRUB entry

So, as a solution;
Background: I'm using Arch Linux. It uses mkinitcpio to generate its initramfs (and the early userspace(!)). Because we are booting a filesystem image from the NTFS, we need to tweak the initramfs. We can use GRUB and its ntfs module to read (GRUB ntfs module is ro afaik.) the kernel and initramfs from the NTFS partition. After this we still need to mount the NTFS partition from the initramfs for full read/write access.
Theory of operation of the solution:I added ntfs-3g and fusefs packages to the initramfs, so that the NTFS partition can be mounted. I also created a new mkinitcpio hook that needs to be loaded before the actual mounting hook. The hook is a simple shell script that gets the parameters (these are given as kernel arguments from GRUB) like
- Disk image location inside the NTFS partition (image_path)
- NTFS partition GPT GUID (image_hd)
- If the disk image contains multiple partitions, the rootfs UUID (root)
The boot procedure regarding disk mounts:
- initcpio hook mounts the NTFS partition
- initcpio hook mounts the disk image from the NTFS partition as a loop device
- Now the normal mount hook is run, it is given the ext4 or whatever partition containing linux rootfs inside that disk image mounted in step 2
- The system exits the early userspace; newroot is set to the NTFS-loop-mounted image file's rootfs partition.
- Ta-dah, we got a running Linux system with read&write permissions running from a disk image/iso image inside a NTFS partition.

I'm attempting to create a multipurpose AIO USB stick for everyday use. So far I've been able to get Mint, Tails, And Hiren's boot cd all successfully working off of one device similar to the tutorial found here:
However, I'm running into trouble adding Windows 10 to this list. I've done some research but have yet to find a suitable solution for Windows 10.
Is there anyway to add a menuentry to the grub.cfg in order to make this work, or is there a more detailed solution.
Thanks for any help in advance.
EDIT:
I've managed to get the iso to boot using the following menu entry:
The only problem is once I choose install the following error occurs:
So somehow it can't properly read the files after it starts the setup process.
EDIT 2:
I was able to get the entire thing working with YUMI.
