Would this area be considered foul ball or a dead ball territory? If a fly ball is caught in this area what is the call; an out where runners can advance or a dead ball strike without any advancement?

If the ball lands or first touched beyond the fence, imaginary or not, it is a dead ball. Outside fair/foul line, foul ball; inside line, home run.
Often covered in ground rules.
Sorry, don't have time to find rule cites.
