Assume I'm in:

$ pwd
/home/foo

Now I want to open up this /home/foo in Windows 10's file explorer. How do I do this?

$ start .

the "start" command is a little like xdg-open for the Windows desktop (I believe even Windows 98 had the start command). If you are not working within an overlay that re-writes all of the directories to something like /c/Program\ Files/ then you can also pass directories and files to the command as well.
