You would need to work on a larger display (or larger virtual display).

That is when you tell the OS to use a desktop region larger than your physical display which you then pan around inside of or access with multiple physical displays.

Multiple monitors attached to the same Windows machine (like a big monitor attached to a laptop) works quite well.

There are lots of software options as well. Just Google "Virtual Desktop". For example...
