Not too certain if I understand, but you want your laptop screen output to display on a wireless monitor? That's certainly possible -- all you've got to do is purchase wireless HDMI, though mind you those can be rather pricey. Plug the wireless HDMI in your laptop and monitor of choice. Then all you've got to do is connect your bluetooth devices to your laptop and you're done.
Mind you, there will certainly be a delay, as goes with everything that's wireless. At home I use wireless HDMI for my beamer and my telephone even interferes with the signal. Not fun when watching a film.
An alternative would be a Steam link, but other people may have a better solution. Not even sure if Valve still sells those (I don't game anymore).
Sorta.
Yes on the wireless hdmi: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09Q64M71N
But instead of a real laptop, it's just a portable monitor: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BNWWF32B
So in my vision this "non-laptop" would be packaged together in a laptop case, but no OS, only a wireless dongle, mouse and keyboard that all connect to the desktop.
Edit: So I guess in this imaginary scenario, there'd be a laptop case and laptop battery. And that would power the display and keyboard/mouse and hdmi dongle...
