Many terminal emulators, including Extraterm, allow you to scroll up while in alternate screen mode, but replace the bottom portion of the scrollback region. I don't think this is a real standard, and it's not very intuitive.
Would it be possible for the GUI to convey that the alternate screen buffer is really a separate buffer, while leaving the full scrollback of the main screen still accessible? For example, by displaying the alternate screen in its own full-screen tab or in its own cell below the normal scrollback region?
