A wireless charger works exactly the same way as a wired one - except wirelessly. No additional features, such as limiting the max charge. For that, you'd need something that tied into the hardware of the phone and the charger - I don't know if that exists.

Besides, modern smart phone batteries are much smarter than before and I am not sure that it really makes any difference to limit charging to 80%.

I have battery apps on our phones, and the app recommends 80%.

Also, my wife charges her phone overnight and her Pixel 2 battery is at 30-40% original capacity, forcing us to get her a new phone. My Pixel 3 that I try to charge until 80% is still at 80%+ original capacity. Small sample size of course.
