You'd think, right? Unfortunately, the 9p-mounting functionality isn't exposed to other applications, so it's not an option. When I last checked in on this in January, there were no plans to make it publicly usable: https://github.com/microsoft/WSL/issues/4070 . I think Jacob's got the right approach, at least as far as I'm aware.

Not saying that you couldn't get this to work, I am just not aware of anyone who has.
