SharePoint Online with Azure RMS
It's a term, basically means "allowing the applications to work with the data". Which is not possible if you encrypt the files outside of SharePoint and upload them to a library.
sureley this would be feasible as I would want users to download the protcted files and use the desktop applications (rather than Word Online, for example). I doubt they would be using the search features or indexing in SharePoint Online.
As long as you are fine with SPO not being able to index the file and loosing some funcitonality (search, DLP processing, etc), yes, it's feasible.
you can do that with a regular document library without IRM enabled. Assign the Azure IP licenses to the users, deploy the add-in to them, create the labels, create the protection templates and give the users some instructions.
