Is it possible to access the appinfo data from the new v11 tools using powercli?

For those unaware of the new appinfo plugin

appInfo - Collects the information about running applications inside the guest and publishes the information to a guest variable.

$vm = Get-VM -Name $vmName

$vm.ExtensionData.Config.ExtraConfig | where{$_.Key -match "guestinfo.appInfo"} |
