You can add accounts as watch-only addresses, which cannot sign transactions. However, these watch-only accounts can be used as proxied accounts, allowing them to sign transactions using an existing proxy account within the extension. To do that go to the related sub menu as shown below:

After clicking on the relevant submenu, you will see a page where you can enter the address you want to monitor, assign a name to it, and select a chain to check if the account has any associated proxies. Click "Add" to add the address as a watch-only account to the extension.
