Trying to connect from host to WSL2 using WSL2's hostname
You can add that entry to your windows host file (C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts), but it will change when WSL restarts. There are utilities that automate this addition at boot time.

I've had some issues with getting addresses resolving correctly but this tool https://github.com/shayne/go-wsl2-host works pretty good (you just type in lists of hosts and service refreshes etc file whenever WSL2 IP changes (and it changes with every reboot).

If you don't care about the security of your key-use, and are using a hardware token for some non-security-related reason, you could use something nuts like this (read the disclaimer in the README): https://github.com/rupor-github/win-gpg-agent (Seriously tho, just use PuTTY, like everyone stuck on that OS has since '99: https://developers.yubico.com/PGP/SSH_authentication/Windows.html )
