When I searched for this, I came up empty. I was thinking that there
would be a USB plugin device or a pcie card that allowed a desktop to
communicate with a cellular network. Put a sim in it, and bingo, can
call using the desktop instead of the smartphone. I think it would be
useful for troubleshooting things like having trouble with a website
over the phone with support. Could do both on the desktop instead of
having a phone and desktop, and switching. Maybe it is so niche, or
has such a small market, it just doesn't exist.
Inspired by the responses here that allowed me to understand what I was
searching for, I eventually found a program called scrcpy.

It allows a linux desktop attached to a phone, either via usb or tcpip,
to control the phone.

You might want to check out "kde-connect" which is packaged for Fedora.
It works on other desktops as well.
