Can I connect my iPad Pro 12.9 to an external touch-screen display through a usb-C cable or a usb-C to HDMI cable, in order to use the external display to interact more easily with my iPad Pro, since it is larger ?
iPad Pro, 13
Unfortunately, I have seen this issue come up quite a bit recently. I work as a product manager for a company that manufactures large touch screen displays for corporate and education spaces and over the past year this request has come up a lot. When an iPad is connected to one of the touch screens (like an interactive flat panel display), video/audio/charging work without issue, but touch feedback is not supported in most instances, although we have seen this function "kinda" work on some touch screens - but the calibration is usually WAY off.
Although we're currently working with R&D on this, things are not looking too promising without support from Apple's side to develop compatibility within iOS. Although we'd love to work with Apple to get this working, I don't see them doing this any time soon, especially considering how long it took them to switch to support USB-C :-)

iOS/iPadOS doesn’t fully support external touch-screen monitors. When connecting the monitor via USB-C (using DP Alt Mode or Thunderbolt) or via HDMI, the monitor display itself may work - but any associated touch screen functions will not be supported.

To reiterate, while iPadOS does support connection of an external monitor, iPadOS does not support touch-input from the external touch display.
I had the same idea. I tried it with my iPad Pro 12.9 6. Generation connected to a Lenovo USB-C Dock and via HDMI and USB3 a 55" Dell touch display. Unfortunately, no touch function works.
In Stage Manager mode, I could only operate the APPs on the external Dell display using the touchpad function of my Magic Keyboard and of course via BT Mouse.
Too bad ...
