Hyper-v cmdlets can't use wsl paths

[fabioDMFerreira]

This issue is a problem I'm having using Add-VMHardDiskDrive. Documentation is fine!

I am not able to use a WSL path as argument.

Add-VMHardDiskDrive -VMName test  -Path \\wsl$/Ubuntu/home/<image path>

This command launches the next error

Add-VMHardDiskDrive : 'test' failed to add resources to 
'test'.
An unexpected error occurred: The network name cannot be found. (0x80070043).
'test' failed to add resources. (Virtual machine ID

It seems the cmdlet can't access paths located in other network devices.
