Why can't I create a full-width overlay and display in the margins at the same time?

I want to create an overlay (or, to avoid X-Y problems, a multicolored, multilayered, visually distinct line at an arbitrary position that cannot be removed, like a page-break) that spans the entire "page", by which I mean the margins and buffer…
