How to add wsl command line arguments to Windows Terminal configuration?

I have the following .json configuration for my Windows Terminal:

        {
            "guid": "{926758ba-8c4a-5c36-a9c6-0c4943cd78a1}",
            "hidden": false,
            "name": "Fedora-33",
            "source": "Windows.Terminal.Wsl"
        },

This was generated automatically from the WSL database.

I would like to add wsl command line option -u user as it starts now as root. I tried adding

            "user" : "hxv454"

to no avail. How can I configure WT to start my wsl instance with a specific user?

Learning from

How do I get Windows 10 Terminal to launch WSL?

searching for "wsl" I have found and used

"commandline": "wsl -d Fedora-33 -u hxv454"

and it worked.
