I have the LG 34WN780 ergo monitor without a USB C port and the HP Dragonfly G2 with two Thunderbolt 4 ports. I would like to transfer the image from the laptop to the monitor, charge the laptop and connect a webcam at the same time. Could I use one of the TB4 ports on the docking station to transfer the image to the monitor via an HDMI adapter and at the same time connect the webcam via USB 3.2 and charge the laptop? I would be glad if someone knows more about this and can help me. Thank you!

Briefly skimmed, yup, that should work.
In the end you have a USB4 cable from the laptop TB4 connection to the dock and your laptop is also supplied with power via USB-PD.
...And still ports left on the dock.
For me, I use a DisplayPort adapter on the dock because my monitor only has DisplayPort (and DVI) input.
Works with MacBook Air/Pro.
With the HP I can imagine that you still have to fight with drivers. But from the specification (USB4...) it should basically work.
(/I'm bothered by two things about this thing: (apparently) no possibility to update the firmware and no possibility to configure it.
so the bright status LED on the top cannot be switched off).
It does what it is supposed to do.
Have fun with the little device.
