The only way I know to get at it is from the Linux command line. So, for example, if you wanted to
spell-check a XyWrite file named D:\xy4\MyFile.txt, in Linux you would command (minimally):
aspell -c /mnt/d/xy4/MyFile.txt
(Note that any drive "X:\" in Windows translates to "/mnt/x/" in Linux. In other
words, WSL gives you access to all of your Windows data files in Linux.) Of course, you could add
other options to the command; command "aspell -?" (without quotes) to see a usage summary
or "man aspell" to browse the user's manual.
