Connecting to Virtual COM port with node serialport on Windows

I'm trying to use node serialport (https://www.npmjs.com/package/serialport) to connect to a virtual COM port (USB001) in Windows.

Is this possible with serialport? as it does not appear in the list returned from SerialPort.list().

I've successfully used SerialPort to connect to standard COM ports on Windows with something like new SerialPort('\.\COM2') - but what about virtual COM ports?
