For the correct work with Linux path need to add transform path by wslpath -aw
I just added this code to ~/.bashrc
subl() { "/mnt/c/Program Files/Sublime Text 3/subl.exe" wslpath -aw $1 }
hope it will be useful for somebody :-)

subl() { "/mnt/c/Program Files/Sublime Text 3/subl.exe" wslpath -aw $1 }

I did it in another way. Since I'm using fish and it doesn't support this command, I created the custom subl file in /usr/local/bin. Then added sudo chmod +x subl and in this file I typed:

#!/bin/sh

exec "/mnt/c/Program Files/Sublime Text 3/subl.exe" wslpath -aw $1

I just install Sublime on Windows, then create an symlink of wsl2 home on windows like this \\wsl$\<distro>\home\<username> and I'm able to edit files and forders inside of the wsl2 filesystem securely, tihs is the way that Microsoft advise. Hope it helps...
