Description
This feature is useful for people like me who want to be able to load the same savestate in different emulators.
This should be added to Rewind & States window due to it being a savestate option. Rewind savestates should be unaffected by this.
For reference: https://github.com/LIJI32/SameBoy/blob/master/BESS.md
This is also useful for glitch hunting.

Research direction
Start by reading the linked SameBoy BESS.md reference and inspect BizHawk's Rewind & States window and savestate handling. The work is done when BESS support is available there for Game Boy and Game Boy Color, while rewind savestates remain unaffected.
