Description
Heavily inspired by sentry's ignoreSpan api for their tracing implementation. I have used this api to control span verbosity on the frontend using feature flags.
Most of the time we don't need every single interaction tracked in all browsers. Sampling is an option to reduce span volume but we should give control to consumers to filter by span attributes as well.
I can volunteer some time to add this api.

Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the client-side tracing and sampling implementation, then compare its options with Sentry's ignoreSpan API; done means consumers can filter spans by attributes to control span verbosity.
