[FEATURE]: WSL support connection and SSH forwarding

Feature hasn't been suggested before.

I have verified this feature I'm about to request hasn't been suggested before.

Describe the enhancement you want to request

Doing a trial run and want to connect to WSL through the desktop app and having the ability to connect to remote containers would make a huge difference. If I can show promise with this tool given that I'm stuck with Copilot Enterprise or Bedrock(not happening), I can see if others in the organization would adopt this. This is a very cool tool where you're only limited to as fast as you can think. This shows a lot of promise. This is the ultimate vendor lock destroyer.
