Access SQLite DB in WSL from Windows

I recently found myself needing to connect to a SQLite Database inside a project that was in my WSL home directory from Windows.

In an traditional Linux environment I would have installed and used SQlite Browser but I don't have graphical applications set up on my WSL environment and I am not a big fan of the sqlite3 command line tool.

I installed the windows version of sqlite browser but I could not get it to open the sqlite.database file located in WSL no matter how I tried to reference. One thing I read said this is not currently possible and that a Visual Studio Code extension could be used instead. The extension is alexcvzz/sqlite
