im trying to achieve what i call it "segments depth peeling/carving " not sure if that a proper term or not .

it is like what I do with volume through moving the ROI, making it disappear in the coronal plane .

for me in surgical planning, it would help greatly if I can do that with either segmentation or volumes. ( getting greedy here ) . it can allow me to visualize relationships slice by slice

You cannot clip segments but you can clip models, using Models module’s Clipping planes section.

You can export segmentation to models by right-clicking on the segmentation in Data module.
