What is the source of the idea that there will be a window in heaven to watch your enemies burn in hell?

Is it Catholicism? Or conservatives that believe this? It might be from Dante’s Inferno or something. Not specifically mentioned in the Bible. There is the story of Lazarus and the rich man in hell but it doesn’t talk about a window.
IIRC the idea goes when you get to heaven you can eat steak at a restaurant next to a window where you can see and enjoy with satisfaction watching your enemies burn in hell. I didn’t make up this idea. Just trying to find where it came from.
I found a comment on it:
"One of St Thomas Aquinas' key features of heaven was that it had a window so you could enjoy the suffering in hell"
