I've never used WSL, but you're right with your assumption[1]:
Run Windows tools from Linux
WSL can run Windows tools directly from the WSL command line using
[tool-name].exe. For example, notepad.exe.
[...]
Windows tools must include the file extension, match the file case, and
be executable. Non-executables including batch scripts. CMD native
commands like dir can be run with cmd.exe /C command.
Best, Arash
