Is there any way to queue a background task using the API without using a writeplugin.

Question

We'd like to queue a background task without a write plugin triggering it. This docs link suggests a background task can be queued via code: docs.sdl.com/.../GUID-8869A03F-25E6-4B9C-8F54-C82E2E0679B9

Hi Matthew, that is currently not possible. 
 
We have entries on the backlog regarding BackgroundTask handling. I would really appreciate your use case, so that we can match your scenario with our scenarios. 
 
Thanks
