Is there an extension like special workspaces like in Hyprland for GNOME?

No content? Can you maybe explain what this is?

From the Hyprland wiki:

A special workspace is what is called a “scratchpad” in some other places. A workspace that you can toggle on/off on any monitor.

Since GNOME definitely doesn't support workspaces per monitor (and I haven't seen an extension that does), I don't think this is possible.

I'm struggling to think of what you'd even use that for

If you put a chat on your scratchpad, you can toggle the chat floating on top of all other windows and then put it away. I'll maybe put up a demo later

The closest thing I can think of is quake mode. https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/1411/quake-mode/

I don't think it's updated for the lastest version of gnome

If I understand you correctly. PaperWM https://github.com/paperwm/PaperWM has a scratchpad but not as a single extension. It's part of the whole PaperWM way of working.
