Display port over USB-C should be this, the Samsung Galaxy S8 was the first to support it.

Unfortunately, while quite a few docks are on the market, compatibility is a bit iffy, and rival USB-C alt modes like HDMI and MHL muddy the waters.

Interesting. Does this work for USB-C enabled laptops, say the latest MacBook Pros? Or does Apple only support Thunderbolt over USB-C for display connections?
Thunderbolt 3 carries DP1.2, Display Port alt mode for USB-C carries 1.4. As long as your needs can be handled by 1.2 you will be alright.
It works for Dell Laptops and their USB-C docking stations. But maybe it is not quite the same.
