GitLab CI - passing JSON into a release-cli command with PowerShell - json

Question

I'm trying to pass a JSON structure required to register a new release in GitLab, but I'm not sure how I should escape the double quotes. Here's a release job section from my gitlab-ci.yml:
release:
stage: release
tags:
- windows
rules:
- if: $CI_COMMIT_TAG
variables:
ASSET_LINK_DETAILS: "{\"name\":\"${PACKAGE_NAME}.zip\",\"url\":\"${PACKAGE_REGISTRY_URL}/${PACKAGE_NAME}.zip\"}"
script:
- 'Write-Host "Creating release..."'
- 'Start-Process -FilePath "release-cli" -ArgumentList "create --name `"Release $CI_COMMIT_TAG`" --tag-name `"$CI_COMMIT_TAG`" --asset-link ${env:ASSET_LINK_DETAILS}" -NoNewWindow -Wait'
- 'Write-Host "Finished creating release..."'
Running this job returns an error from the release-cli:
Incorrect Usage: flag provided but not defined: -asset-link
What is the correct way to pass this JSON into the command in PowerShell?

I found the answer in the GitLab release documentation, there's a complete example there. PowerShell can be a PITA...
https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/user/project/releases/release_fields.html#use-a-generic-package-for-attaching-binaries
Here's an example:
- $env:asset = "{`"name`":`"$env:PACKAGE_NAME.zip`",`"url`":`"$env:PACKAGE_REGISTRY_URL/$env:PACKAGE_NAME.zip`"}"
- $env:assetjson = $env:asset | ConvertTo-Json
- Start-Process -FilePath "C:\GitLab\Release-CLI\bin\release-cli" -ArgumentList "create --name `"$CI_COMMIT_TAG`" --description `"Release $CI_COMMIT_TAG`" --tag-name `"$CI_COMMIT_TAG`" --ref `"$CI_COMMIT_TAG`" --assets-link=$env:assetjson" -NoNewWindow -Wait
