It's been a while, but I believe I had this working for an Ettus B205 USB device using the directions found here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/wsl/connect-usb I assume it should work for the HackRF also.
The latest versions of WSL2 now have built-in graphics and audio support through wslg. In my very limited testing I found audio to be a little choppy but YMMV.
