Launch WSL terminals directly in Windows Terminal

[WSLUser]

Description of the new feature/enhancement

After installing a distro, install a terminal such as Konsole, xterm, xfce4-terminal, etc. and configuring/installing an X server such as VcxSrv, when launching the terminal it does not appear in Windows terminal. By launching a new tab in WT if launched from WT, we can provide a unified experience. Git bash can be used in WT so getting Linux terminals used in WT is the next step.

Proposed technical implementation details (optional)

I want to launch a Linux terminal from WSL and have it open in WT as a new tab. Furthermore, it should appear as a drop-down in the menu similar to Pengwin creating entries in the Windows start menu for Linux applications.

I think there's a terrible misunderstanding going on here -- we're not going to make it so that if you launch another entire terminal (Konsole, xterm, xfce4-terminal, etc.) that Windows Terminal takes over your wishes. Can you imagine? That'd be like VSCode taking over Notepad invocations.

Any application that can launch konsole can launch wt.exe. This will, or should, work today.

If you want it to appear in a new tab in the same window, you want to follow #4472.

Basically when I'm in my distro and launch a terminal app, I want it to appear in a new tab. I'm not sure that issue will be able to address it (at least not in the context of the OP) but the general idea matches.

It absolutely will, because on the WSL side you can set your terminal application to be "wt.exe whatever launch in a new tab". It's up to you and the configuration of your WSL distribution as to how exactly it launches a terminal, but when you explicitly say "konsole" or "gnome-terminal" you are explicitly saying that you want to use Konsole or gnome-terminal, not WT.
