Description

Describe the solution you'd like

Users may need ability to see some details about workflow start/execute beyond just the normal result they get. As of this writing, they may want to know it actually caused a workflow start (conflict policy doesn't always), its status to know whether it resulted in a workflow running (update with start sometimes operates on closed workflows), whether it was eagerly started, and the link on it if/when we're ready to expose links.

Requires some research, but early thoughts are that start options in different SDKs can have mutable placeholders where the start calls can set these details.
