Description
### Description of the new feature / enhancement
With new "Power Display" feature, would it be possible to extend it to actually be able to turn on/turn off displays?
### Scenario when this would be used?
I switch quite often from 3 (work) to 1 (gaming) displays setup, so it would be super helpful not to have touch physical buttons to do that.
### Supporting information

Start by locating the existing Power Display feature and its entry points. The issue names no files or tests and does not define how displays should be selected or controlled, so clarify those behaviors first. Done means switching between one- and three-display setups without using physical display buttons.
