Hi,

As far as I know, plasma provides no such a feature. Implementing it can 
be tricky because how should the window manager know when a window must 
be moved to another monitor so it doesn't interfere with the user (the 
ultimate source of the truth)?

Regardless of that, kwin provides a scripting api. Such a feature can be 
built on top of that. There's some scripting api documentation on the 
internet, the real world scripts (e.g. kwin-tiling, bismuth, etc) can 
also act as good examples how to write a kwin script.

If kwin scripting misses api needed to implement such a feature, please 
create a bug report (or even better send a patch :-) )
