Hi @Kreek and welcome to our community!

Do I understand you correctly in that you want your computer to act as a headset accessory while connecting using Bluetooth to your device? I have not heard of this being done before, but I will provide as much information as I can.

Xperia Z5 supports the following Bluetooth profiles according to the white paper:

Spoiler

Advanced Audio Distribution Profile v1.2

Audio/Video Remote Control Profile v1.6

Device Identification Profile v1.3

Generic Access Profile Generic Attribute Profile Client/Server over LE

General Audio/Video Distribution Profile v1.2

Handsfree Profile v1.7 (Wide band speech)

Headset Profile v1.2 HID over GATT Profile v1.0

Human Interface Device Profile, Host role v1.0

Messaging Access Profile v1.2

Object Push Profile v1.2

Personal Area Networking Profile v1.0

Phonebook Access Profile v1.2

Serial Port Profile v1.2

In order for your computer to connect as a Bluetooth device, it has to be operated under one of the supported profiles above, such as the Handsfree profile which is common for headsets.

If it may act as one of these supported profiles, then you likely need to set the computer to a pairing mode before it can be visible in your Xperia Z5 under Settings > Bluetooth, you may find that by getting in touch with the computer support, you may also try to see if it is available in a user guide for your computer.

Let me know if that helps!
