Yes there are several: fauxstalgia or anemoia

Those are fake word invented for the purpose though.

There is also “anticipatory nostalgia”, which is about being nostalgic for potential future losses.

All words were invented for a purpose. When that happens, they’re referred to as a neologism.

Michael Sullivan (of “delete the wife” fame) says it in Lower Decks 4x01. And a Betazoid gift box says it again in 4x03 (after similarly living an entire fabricated lifetime in a moment).

Anemoia - nostalgia for a life you never lived.

Apparently made up for the experience you’re describing.
