Hey- what you want would require a redesign of how vector layers are drawn. Right now, only the visible area is drawn. So if you pan the map, you will see nothing. To make this work in a different way, the vector layer would need a ratio option like the grid layer, to support a larger drawing pane. This change is not trivial, but doable.
Having said that, I agree that this would be nice to have, but would require either funding or somebody willing to get their hands dirty. Regards, Andreas.
