Dual Monitors with Air M1?

With the performance reviews of the M1 chip I am very interested in upgrading to the Air from my 2009 Mac Pro. However I read that I would be unable to hook it up to both of my HDMI monitors so I was wondering if there was a workaround? I heard something about DisplayLink which I'm not familiar with but would something like an HDMI Splitter be sufficient? I would use the computer in clamshell mode when hook up. Additionally I found this on Apple's website: https://www.apple.com/shop/product/HMX02ZM/A/caldigit-thunderbolt-3-mini-dock?fnode=fefab61f58343b33288c2da2aec817dd7495fee2a5037bcdeced27b0805b1a5ed2f94338a96dbff013b39a9bd86adfb44539a7250e0c38bec2b15c5da4e2f83965dae66df767c3c3f4d083589d3811469348c9cb6476c6b741e2613ccfe6be1d

Thanks in advance!

I have recently purchased a MacBook Pro 13 inch, M1, 2020

and I purchased a Kensington SD4900P USB-C & USB 3.0 Triple 4K Hybrid Dock - DP & HDMI for $279 and I am now running two external monitors along with my MB display, no issues

When I bought the MacBook they told me that it could handle dual displays and sold me a Dongle, (which as we all know didn't work) for adding Dual Displays. This Kensington product works in conjunction with Displaylink Manager 13.0, which is a free download. And it acts as a power source for the MB, gives me extra USB ports, and connects my external speakers .... what's not to love. Enjoy
