Can you support recording game caption or window with size more than monitor?

In my situation I have 1080p monitor, but I record some content on 4k, for that I use tool SRWE (https://github.com/dtgDTGdtg/SRWE), but I can't capture this applications or windows in OBS, because they are cutted to my 1080p.

I don't know if it possible, but some programs can record my larger than monitor window, but OBS - not.

Tested it with Minecraft quickly using SRWE to resize it to 2560x1440 (I also have a 1080p Monitor).
GameCapture and Window Capture had no problem to grab the full window. Of course monitor capture will not work in this case.

Now to capture everything in OBS you of have to fit your Base (Canvas) Resolution to your Window Size or Fit the Source to Screen in OBS if you want to capture it downscaled.

There used to be a button (in OBS Classic) that would set the base resolution to the resolution of the captured window. This was very useful for me because I deal with many resolutions that I wish to be window-defined, with resizing, etc. done in post rather than streaming. Is there any such functionality in OBS Studio? I searched on the issue tracker and the forums, but this is the only slightly relevant post that shows up besides a request for the feature 4 years ago: https://obsproject.com/forum/threads/set-base-resolution-missing-in-the-latest-update.12363/
