It was implemented a while back via Google Remote Desktop. (link above)
You can fully use your PC on your phone assuming you are dexterous to simulate mouse movements and zoom in/out when required.
A popup on your PC stating that your PC is being accessed is displayed.

I am not sure I am following you here. The issue is, once you have locked your PC from your Android phone, you cannot unlock it from your Android phone because phone link disconnects.

I like Phone link, it just seems weird that the app can't be used remotely if the PC is locked. There's no reason why it can't

The issue here I believe is how you're going to input your PIN for example to unlock when the app disconnects when you lock your PC.

You can reconnect using Google Remote desktop and use your PC on your phone.
Look at it as MS remote desktop but instead of 2 PCs, it is one phone connecting to one PC at a time.
As a test, I just locked the PC with PhoneLink. The screen goes black. The PC is locked.
I then launched Google Remote Desktop, selecting the system I just locked.
I am then shown the lock screen and proceed with logging back in with my credentials (PIN) via Google Remote Desktop.

It isn't implemented in Windows Link. I wasn't addressing using another app. That's what threw me off.
