How to render pixel art game at 340x200 but display at 1060x600?

I'm trying to figure out how to draw my pixel art at a tiny size but upscale it for viewing on a monitor. So far I've been doing this by setting the zoom of my camera2D to .3 and setting the Rect.Scale of my Components to 3, but I'm finding that as I create more complicated UIs, manually setting the scale is causing problems.

Is there another way to do this? Ideally I'd like to not have to constantly be multiplying or dividing the scale by 3. I'd rather render my game 1 to 1 to a small buffer (around 340x200 in size) and then upscale it by a factor of 3 when I run it so it's large enough to see on my target device. (Of course, I do want to be flexible about window sizes too so that if my game is rendered on a different device with a different aspect ratio and pixel density it can scale appropriately for that too).

I think I figured it out. If I go into Project Settings/General/Display/Window, I can set the size of the window to be something small, but then I can also set the Test Width and Test Height to be something larger so that it's large enough to see when I debug.

This also seemed to work when I exported for android, although I'm not 100% sure this will give me the right viewing ratio when exporting for all devices.

Use the viewport stretch mode and keep stretch aspect as described in the Multiple resolutions documentation. Don't use Control scaling except for animation purposes, as it's unreliable within containers.
