How can I share my secondary monitor to a remote system as if it were directly connected to it?

Introduction

A laptop typically has either a VGA or HDMI connector as a display port, and some laptops even have both. If you connect a secondary monitor to this laptop, you can easily drag and drop any window from the primary to the secondary monitor and work seamlessly.

This functionality applies to all workspaces as well.

Situation

Through Remmina is possible get remote access from a Host laptop to a target laptop - for simplicity it in the same LAN - in peace. The situation is that the target laptop does not have a secondary monitor and the host laptop has a secondary monitor. Therefore:

Host Laptop --- --- --->>> Target Laptop 
1 Secondary    Remmina      0 Secondary  
 Monitor                      Monitor

Goal

I want need to know if is possible execute a command in the target laptop to cheat the OS to indicate that it has connected a secondary monitor based on the same settings than the one connected in the Host laptop. Of course, there is no a secondary monitor connected in the Target Laptop.

Therefore the "fake" scenario should be the same as if exists two identical displays/monitors and each one is connected to each laptop. Thus in the Host laptop is possible drag and drop any window to the secondary monitor - it without matter if really the Target does not have a real secondary monitor connected.

Is possible accomplish this goal? I need this command being generic or portable, it to be executed in Ubuntu and Fedora.

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
