Plan a long visit during a flight stop

Plan a long visit during a flight stop - Top view of crop anonymous person holding toy airplane on colorful world map drawn on chalkboard

I heard someone talking about taking a long visit (6 weeks, for example) at one of the flight's stops. For example, a flight departes from Amsteram, heading to Bangkok, but it has a stop in Kuala Lumpur. Is it possible to stay in Kuala Lumpur for 6 weeks, whereafter you take the flight (with the same ticket) to Bangkok?

I found this rather strange. I never heard about it before. It would mean that it would be a good alterative to a RTW-ticket. (by combining several flights)
