The short answer to that is "no". The only option is to 'clone' multiple screens with the identical screen resolution. There is no separate output on different monitors.
The only touch-screen option would be to use a smartphone or tablet as a remote for the Kodi setup.

Yes and no, it's not an identical screen but the Kodi Remote apps for Android and iOS will use Kodi's database and content to control the main Kodi screens via the typical cursor and enter keys. Starting and navigating videos is of course possible via the remote.

Kodi can be controlled via it's web interface, so you could have the main Kodi display on one screen and on the second a web browser that's pointing at at the web interface and use that to run things.
