This worked:

winget uninstall Microsoft.WindowsTerminal
wget -q https://github.com/microsoft/terminal/releases/download/v1.18.3181.0/Microsoft.WindowsTerminal_1.18.3181.0
_8wekyb3d8bbwe.msixbundle
start Microsoft.WindowsTerminal_1.18.3181.0_8wekyb3d8bbwe.msixbundle

but kinda defeats the purpose of winget.
