Such a feature is not practical in an HT.

Even in the case of HT you mention, the cross-band repeat function is undocumented.

The reason is that a repeating function is a high-duty-cycle operation.
A handi-talkie, being a small form-factor with battery is not capable as such.

Generally a repeater (cross-band or otherwise) needs to be realatively located high in elevation, have a good antenna system, and have heatsink for long duration transmitting.
