When using the `getTransactions` RPC it’s possible to add in interface IDs as part of the filter, so we can access the interface views for those templates in the response. Is it possible to do the same for `getTransactionTrees`? I’d like to be able to see the interface view for contracts that are created and archived in the same transaction.

At the moment, there is no option to get interface views on transaction trees but it is something we are considering adding.

Just wanted to add to my comment above. Not having access to the interface views of transient contracts is making things very tricky for me. This is because we are using Daml Finance which uses intefaces extensively, and it also sometimes needs to use transient contracts, such as for adding/removing observers. It would be a really useful feature to be able to get interface views on transaction trees.
