Display maximised version of a window

I have a 2 monitor setup. I want to use one of them as a normal monitor with my opened programs in windows that I can resize, move, close...
The second monitor should display a maximised version of one of the windows in monitor one, without closing or affecting the window in monitor 1. To be clear, I don't want a duplicate, I want to display the same window twice. I would only interact with one window at the time. The twin window not currently in focus would be like the display that you get when pressing super + w.
I have tried window managers based on tiles and different flavours of Ubuntu but I found nothing like this. I've struggling finding information in google because I get results related to duplicating tabs and windows, which is not what I want.

A hacky way to have the same window display multiple times would be to run the application in a local VNC server with multiple connected viewers. The view of the window that should be maximized on a monitor can be scaled up.
