I'm using i3 window manager which allows as much and even more than wmutils.
For example, this simple script allows me for an instant assigning of workspaces to outputs on my dual monitor setup:
i3-msg "move workspace to output VGA1; workspace $1"
i3-msg "move workspace to output HDMI2"
What it does, is it moves current workspace from primary to secondary output and then brings up requested workspace on primary output.
The beauty is that by quickly requesting 2 workspaces I can immediately assign workspaces to both outputs. After some usage muscle memory kicks in and now I can instantly set up whatever I want on both of my monitors without even thinking or fumbling with mouse.

I have started an open source project [recently](https://github.com/SacredData/COMPUTER https://github.com/SacredData/COMPUTER) which allows users to execute such commands with voice commands. It's incredible that after all these years, window managers, even those as powerful as i3, still require users to think.
