Connect Apple Thunderbolt Display using an external cable. Does it work?

Consider that I connect a 27" Apple Thunderbolt Display with a Mac mini (late 2014) with the integrated thunderbolt 2 cable and at the same time I connect the Display with a Mac book Pro (2019) through the display's thunderbolt 2 port (using an external thunderbolt 2 cable plus a thunderbolt 2 to thunderbolt 3 adaptor).

The concept is:

If I wish to work with the Mac mini, Mac book will be disconnected.

If I need to work with the Mac book, I will connect Mac book. (I try to avoid plugging/unplugging cables to the Mac mini). Perhaps Mac mini should be shut down, while I use Mac book.

Do you thing that this will work?

The reason I propose this complicated configuration instead of a KVM solution is because I cannot find a KVM in the market that has the required types of ports or guaranties that I can use it with proper adaptors. Not mentioning that the cost is 3 to 5 times more.
