Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

I would love to have a sample that shows how to do workflow->workflow interaction with a client, so : workflow->activity->client->workflow interaction

This is a common discussion with customers and a sample in go and python would be amazing to share with them.

Describe the solution you'd like

A sample that shows how to do a client inside a workflow's activity. Ideally it would start a schedule.

Our docs say it is a good option, and I want to point them in that direction:
