[Feature Request] Support scrcpy --display-id=[id] command/option #18

Description

@kcyf

I know the chances of this getting implemented are slim, but I will throw it in here just in case.

Context:

Under Android's developer options, there is one setting called "Simulate secondary displays" that will project a smaller screen in a pop-up window.

On the desktop version of scrcpy, running the command scrcpy --list-displays will list the simulated secondary display as one of the options, where you can then use scrcpy --display-id=[id] to mirror only that simulated screen. Unfortunately, this isn't an option in Easycontrol.

Use case

There are certain apps on Android where content can be made to display only on an external screen. The "Simulate secondary displays" can be used to trick the app into displaying those content in the pop-up window. If the scrcpy --display-id=[id] feature is implemented, my host Android device(the one with Easycontrol installed) can be made to only mirror that pop-up window, while my target Android device continues to show the main content.

I will upload some pictures to illustrate my point when I've got time.
