yes. you would simply add the correct "onSuccess" saveInto, capturing the PV value storing the generated document ID into a local variable.

From the record dashboard summary view, if I call "Start Process" via a link[Download as Excel]/button (Assume process is generating an excel and all nodes are chained), is it possible to display the generated excel document to user without manual refresh on the view?

Yes essentially you will not be able to chain a user to a task in the asynchronous sub, but you can configure chaining if you would like the parent process to wait until some unattended processing, such as data updates, complete in the sub process. Then after these chained unattended nodes complete, the parent process will resume, regardless of the sub process having been completed in it's entirety.

What did you do to verify chaining is not followed into the new process instance created by the Start Process node? Just fyi, I don't expect a user will be chained to a task contained in an instance created via Start Process, but that's not the same as the process nodes executing with the increased priorities caused by chaining (which is a whole separate thing).
