As long as the USB-C supports alternate mode, then it can work, weather it's on the motherboard or not.
Unfortunately, I don't know anyone who tried this in action, but this card has the specifications you need. Tell us once you try it, so we all know~

If you can't find a motherboard with USB C display port alt, then why not just purchase a PCI-e add on card instead.

This one here's the card most people are using to connect their Cintiq Pro's to.
You connect your graphics card's displayport cable into it, then connect your Cintiq's USB C cable into the card.
Just make sure you're using the usb c cable that came with your Cintiq or some other cable that's rated for thunderbolt 3 4k 60hz output. Otherwise you might end up having disconnection issues or other problems.
Good luck now!
I've only ever seen this done on a pci card, never an external adapter/cable. For newer PCs I'd recommend using a TB3 card like https://www.amazon.com/Gigabyte-Alpine-Thunderbolt-Components-GC-Alpine/dp/B0722SV69N (this is the one I use) but those HP boxes don't support it. The Dell might work but check that the TB3 header is actually present on your motherboard first. You'll also probably need a BIOS update.
For older motherboards that don't support TB3 addon cards, something like this one should work: https://www.amazon.com/Dual-USB-C-Express-Alternate-Mode-UPD2018/dp/B01MY4WRBU
Both cards work by looping the DP output of your video card back in using a short jumper cable.
take a look at this https://www.amazon.com/SUNIX-USB-C-Express-Alternate-Mode-UPD2018/dp/B01MY4WRBU
It doesn't support USB PD so I don't know if it provides enough power for that monitor (only 1.5A@5v)
I installed a USB-C card in my external PCIe box and it works great; you're good to go 👍
That monitor is just DisplayPort over USB C, only the 5K variant needs Thunderbolt. This card should work fine, no need for anything special on the mobo side https://www.amazon.com/Dual-USB-C-Express-Alternate-Mode-UPD2018/dp/B01MY4WRBU , connect the DisplayPort input on the USB C card to a DisplayPort out from your video card.
