I have a few use cases where I need xdg-open to launch files from wsl, but without an x server I can't do it. I ended up installing wsl-open from github (not mine - author: August Valera) and then linked it at /usr/local/bin/xdg-open so programs that need the dependency can use it. It works great, and thought I would share in case anyone finds this helpful.
