The standalone emulator has the option to boot to the Wii Menu with the game disc in the tray, if the Wii Menu has been installed, with the following CLI arguments: dolphin.exe -b -n 0000000100000002 -C Dolphin.Core.DefaultISO=<path_to_game>.
It can also be done from the GUI by right-clicking a disc based game and selecting the option: Set as Default ISO and then launching the Wii Menu.
The retroarch core lacks this functionality currently and with this option, it is being brought over. Do note that the Wii Menu must be installed to the save location for this to work, just like with the standalone emulator.
The code simply checks if the option is enabled and if that is the case, it checks:
If both checks succeed, the disc is set as the default iso and the Wii Menu is launched. If either check fails, the game is booted as if the option is not enabled.
In the description of the option, there is a note that the game must match the same region as the Wii Menu installed, otherwise the game will not be recognized. This is not a limitation of the implementation but a limitation of the Wii Menu as it reïnstates region locking: https://wiki.dolphin-emu.org/index.php?title=Wii_Menu
"Alternate Region Titles
The Wii Menu will only load titles corresponding to its region. This region locking is enforced by the Wii Menu itself. Use an appropriately aligned version or load alternate region titles via the Game List. "
It has been tested on Wii Menu: 4.3U, 4.3E, 4.3J, 4.3K.
