Perform Azure Storage operations from VHD within same Storage account

When working with a VHD hosted within an Azure Storage account, are there any operations one can perform to access the Storage account directly?

I.e. I create a VM and store it's VHD in a blob in account A, are there any local/efficient ways to work with data in account A from the VM?

Not sure I understand the question. Are you asking if you can access files within a vhd directly (without a vm attached to it), or asking if you can access other blobs in a storage account where a vhd resides? Please edit your question to clarify. – David Makogon

See if Azure Storage Files service will work for you. You may attach your storage as a file share and communicate with that directly using traditional APIs.

Apart of that, you may use cross-platform Azure Storage Explorer for communicating with other Storage subservices like Blobs.
