Is it possible to add this feature?
1 project | /r/LXQt | 7 May 2023

You are probably using Openbox as a window manager which does not provide this feature.. Replace Openbox with Xfwm4 (window manager of Xfce) or Kwin (window manager of KDE Plasma). See: https://github.com/lxqt/lxqt/wiki/ConfigWindowManagers
Problem with maximized window with two or more displays

I don't know your issue as I can't quite picture what you're describing sorry, but it does remind me of some issues with openbox (eg. https://github.com/lxqt/lxqt/issues/1704). Swapping out openbox as the WM will resolve the issue.

1 project | /r/linux | 17 Feb 2023

Yes, but also it relays on KDE, at least a little bit.
