we have our kwin-kscreen specific protocol for this. You can find it at:
https://quickgit.kde.org/?
p=kwayland.git&a=blob&h=9ebe342f7939b6dec45e2ebf3ad69e772ec66543&hb=818e320bd99867ea9c831edfb68c9671ef7dfc47&f=src
%2Fclient%2Fprotocols%2Foutput-management.xml

and

https://quickgit.kde.org/?
p=kwayland.git&a=blob&h=747fc264b7e6a40a65a0a04464c2c98036a84f0f&hb=818e320bd99867ea9c831edfb68c9671ef7dfc47&f=src
%2Fclient%2Fprotocols%2Foutputdevice.xml

It's designed for our specific needs in Plasma. If it's useful for others, we 
are happy to share and collaborate.

Cheers
