Why?  We don't do anything like that when mark is not in the window.

The benefit of this feature for me would be to be able to look around

AFAIK, pretty much all graphical text editor and word processors behaves
like LibreOffice in this regard.  Maybe there are some exceptions, but I
can't think of any.
