Omen 15-dc0017np

Hello, this is my first ever post here so please excuse any mistakes I make.

Nutshell: HP Omen15-dc0017np has one thunderbolt3 port. Does this port:

  1. support DisplayPort Alternate Mode;
  2. allow me to connect a dock/port replicator with atleast 2 monitors AKA does a single tb3 port allow 2 displays; 

Context:

I have the following issue. I'm upgrading most of my hardware and I've been looking at several gaming laptops since high specs are recomended. I need a laptop/notebook because of mobility as a student. I have a little studio at home, and the main item is a 4k drawing tablet. I also have a monitor (gaming/coding), which I'm planning to ditch as soon as i get a new notebook (also planning on it being a Omen series should I buy this notebook). Photoshop/zBrush are pretty heavy so alternate mode is a must if I want to use a dock. I'm a programmer in training too so I need big screens to stack references, code pieces, PDFs and such, so the laptop display alone isn't enough and the tablet is pretty heavy and tilted for drawing. And I also like games so I need 2 displays at full thrust :Glasses:  My dock: https://plugable.com/products/tbt3-udv

I looked at the dock compatibility info and it stated normally HP products allow 1 display per port. There is no info on any HP Omen though. 

If anyone has the wisdom to tell me if I'll have any issues with the Omen series under these circumstances it'd be very much appreciated as I couldn't find the concrete info i wanted anywhere.
