This would be an awesome feature to have. However, it’ll be very hardware and software dependent. The device needs to wake up constantly to poll if there’s a new demo or game to download.
This is surprisingly a hard problem to solve due to underlying bugs in the embedded firmware and the OS.
You can already wake the device up over LAN, USB, or Bluetooth. You could even have a separate device such as a PC or phone that sends the wake up signal to the steam deck if you wanted. I have other devices that work this way in my home already.
It’d be preferable to manage this all on device of course, but I assure you this is solvable where existing Steam Decks already reside, without needing to fix any low level firmwares.

If you don’t mind, could you explain how to do this? I frequently forget to leave my steam deck on when wanting to use steam link.
