Macbook Air M3

hello ,

i have one macbook air m3   with 2 thunderbolt 3 ports type usb c (its also usb 4 ) , two monitors , both of them supports hdmi and display port(not mini )

and , i have bought one belkin product  < https://www.belkin.com/p/pro-thunderbolt-4-dock/INC006ttSGY.html  >

i have connect, from my first macbook's port , to the belkin dock, with a thunderbolt cable, and in the dock i have connect 2 monitors via hdmi , so with this use the monitors work but only in mirror mode with the macbook lid closed ( in mac's settings shows only the one external monitor) , if i open the lid the 2 monitors works as mirror again and the macbook's screen as extended desktop. ( in mac's settings shows only the one external monitor and the mac's screen )

after purchace of belkin dock , and the problem i mentioned above , i saw this Use dual monitors with your MacBook Air and MacBook Pro with M3 chip - Apple Support .

if i follow apple's instruction and connect directly the monitors to macbook air, then i dont have any ports free to use another peripheral devices such as usb flash drives, external ssd e.t.c.

so here is my question:

if i leave the dock connected with macbook (with the thunderbolt cable ) , and up to the dock leave the one monitor with hdmi , after connect the second monitor directly (with usb c to hdmi female adapter OR usb c to Display female adapter ) to the macbook , can the macbook work with the two monitors ( with macbook lid closed ) as extended desktop ( not mirror ) ?

my needs is to work with two external monitors , the first monitor be tha main desktop , and the second monitor as extended
