If such a mechanism were to exist in LDView and LDGLite, LPub could support

I certainly understand the need.  Imagine trying to do building instructions for
25 foot buildings.  Adam Tucker asked me about this issue years ago at the event
that became Brickworld.

Hm...  wouldn't it be relatively easy to implement (yet effective) just to
have the possibility to define the crop window for a certain assembly step?
That would then work independently on the renderer.  And if the coordinates
were given in % instead of pixels or so, it would be even possible to change
resolution without getting different results.
