If I understood correctly, you are talking about connecting to a service
from the guest.  I'm no expert on the inner workings of the HGCM code,
but a quick grep reveals the following code inside
src/VBox/Devices/VMMDev/VMMDevHGCM.cpp:

    /* Only allow the guest to use existing services! */
    Assert(pHGCMConnectCopy->loc.type ==
VMMDevHGCMLoc_LocalHost_Existing);
    pHGCMConnectCopy->loc.type = VMMDevHGCMLoc_LocalHost_Existing;

So I assume that only "VMMDevHGCMLoc_LocalHost_Existing" is currently
supported.

Regards,

Michael
