Setting aside BA's two Concorde Rooms, which it reserves only for those with a F BP or an ultra-elite tier within its own FF program, you know that holding OW Emerald status will get you access to any OW F lounge, provided your onward flight is op by a OW carrier.
While *A carriers sometimes do the same, this tends to be governed by policies of which of its members your onward flight is with. E.g. If I'm departing HKG in any class on any OW carrier, my OW Emerald status gets me into the CX F lounge. If I'm departing F on LH (or arriving LH F and departing LH/LX in any class) I get access to the LH F lounge / terminal @ FRA.
That is exactly the same as BA's Concorde Room policy.

Assuming you mean from FRA UA (or SQ or ...) F pax get to use the SEN lounge which is the designated *A F lounge at FRA. Not much different to galleries first being BA's designated OW F lounge at LHR.
