Not that I know of.

Furthermore, since there is no 1:1 mapping of Linux's libusb 
capabilities onto Windows/WinUSB capabilities, and our current resources 
too limited to start looking into adding a feature of such magnitude, 
regardless of actual feasibility, it's unlikely anyone will take on that 
challenge anytime soon.

Personally, I think a much more fruitful endeavour would be to help make 
the ReactOS USB stack virtualizable on Linux, as it would probably make 
more sense to have a "Wine/WinUSB -> ReactOS USB virtual layer -> Linux 
USB" over a "Wine/WinUSB -> custom WinUSB libusb reverse layer -> libusb 
-> Linux USB", even more so as ReactOS have launched Thorium [1], which 
already goes in the direction of trying to virtualize ReactOS anyway.
