Back in the days of dialup, I had a PPP client that could suspend and resume network traffic in that way.
But switching WiFi networks is like switching houses: everyone needs to know the new address, and you need a key to get in.
So any established sessions are going to drop; the truck is that it’s technically possible to buffer your side of the connection and re-send the last requests made through the new address, but no OS does that anymore, partly because it’s hard to do well, and partly because it’s hard to do securely.
