It’s possible, but not with Monterey 12.3 at the moment. Multiple-display is not possible in most (or maybe all) Macs running 12.3. If you are still running 12.2.1 then yes. If you still have a Thunderbolt port available, I suggest getting a monitor with Display Port and connecting it with a Thunderbolt-to-Display Port cable. It’s also possible to connect through HDMI but I don’t think the M1 iMac has HDMI. USB is also possible but I never tried it myself.
