I want a hub/splitter/device that takes
input: one usb-c in (with displayport alternate mode)
output 1: one usb-c video out (displayport alternate mode)
output 2: one or more data outputs (can be usb type c or usb type a)
I don't need power delivery. After searching for a long time, I haven't found any device that supports that, despite there being 10.000 different usb hubs.
There is a good chance that with Thunderbolt 4 I will finally get the hardware I want. Since all Thunderbolt 3 devices could also pass USB C DisplayPort alternate mode. And assuming Thunderbolt 4 keeps this feature and now adds hubs, I have a solution where I can split off a USB-C DisplayPort signal.
This is highly speculative but it makes sense. Price could be around $149.00 according to OWC.

Looks like there is now a docking station with USB-C data, USB-C displayport out and USB-A hub. Available with Thunderbolt 3 or regular USB-C host connection.

It's just a bit pricey at USD ~250
