I have not been able to find a way to open Terminal as a different user. I can run Terminal as an administrator, but that is not the option I am looking for.

Is running Terminal as a different user not possible because it is a UWP app?

(And right now, it's not possible because it's an MSIX-packaged application. Sorry.)
