Dang. I need this for Mac. I’ve been wishing I had exactly this for years.

Wasn't the same thing posted for MacOS a few days back, can't recall the name? Looking at the time on the repo makes me think the author pushed after seeing people requesting something similar for Linux.

edit: Here you go https://github.com/Stengo/DeskPad

That's not quite the same. With DeskPad you have to move the window to the virtual monitor. clipscreen allows you to select a portion of your screen without moving any windows.
