The macOS PDF preview lets you do this. However in my 15+ years of using macOS before switching to FOSS, I don't think I ever found a use for the feature. Have you? What use case would be enabled by it?

I'm not saying, "no", just trying to figure out why you want this. :)

> Have you? 
Yes.

> What use case would be enabled by it?
For example, when you have a folder of scanned PDF documents and you need to process them.
It helps to understand, e.g. if the documents are well scanned with front & back side or what the actual content is.
Opening each file in Okular would take time and open many windows.

Thanks.
