Technically no, QXL is the virtual card which is provided to VMs.
If you want to have an additional screen added to your bare metal machine
is not possible.
There was a xspice project giving both a Xorg driver and an Xserver but
has not been updated recently.

I'm curious about the usage. Is it like putting the presentation on the
second screen and being able to share it using SPICE ?
