How might I use the plugin installed on WSL2 to interact with Obsidian Windows installation?

[jonsel087]

Hi there,
Would love to play around with the API, and have seen in some youtube videos where the user can open chrome dev tools to run dataview js. I feel like this is a great thing for prototyping and learning. Is this possible to do given my setup (see title)?

What I've tried:

• Installed the node package in my linux installation (WSL2 running Ubuntu-22.04) and started the process, created the test vault.
• Tried pointing my [windows] Obsidian app to open the a symlink of the vault -> known issue
• Tried mapping the dist as a network drive, same results.

Observations:

• I believe that the plugin "advanced obsidian URI" is required to access it in the browser, but makes sense that it won't be able to access the test-vault in the Linux machine, since there is no application there.
• One obvious solution is to install node on windows, but id rather not in case having too many instances causes issues.
• Perhaps there is some way to have the obsidian-dataview js code expose the URI to a local webserver so that I can access the test vault from windows?

Apologies if these questions are unclear, but would appreciate any insight on where my thinking is incorrect.
