The docker-desktop distributions are not meant to be used. They are created by Docker for Windows and are part of the Docker for Windows WSL2 integration.

I would like have this feature on the terminal.

Like for a docker container cli.

So maybe with a container option, example:

{
            "guid": "{d8afdc0e-a636-5b68-89dd-50a9d0b54349}",
            "hidden": false,
            "name": "docker-desktop-data",
            "container": "joomlanew_joomla_1",
            "source": "Windows.Terminal.Wsl"
        },

Since Docker containers can run so many different things-different distributions and different operating systems-there would be no way for Terminal to know what shell to run inside the container. This is best left to the user to configure. You can set the commandline to docker exec -ti container-name /bin/bash, if you want, and change /bin/bash to a shell you know exists inside the container.
