Topic: http header Prefer: return=minimal

The Restful API page (https://www.hl7.org/fhir/http.html) mentions using the http Prefer header in requests to indicate how much detail the client wants to process. Examples given are
Prefer: return=minimal Prefer: return=representation Prefer: return=OperationOutcome
Can these be used outside of a FHIR transaction i.e. where you are POSTing a single resource so that " return=representation" would be the equivalent of a POST followed by a GET ?

they can be used on any interaction

Thx Grahame for the ultra rapid response

(Note that not all servers will necessarily support them - or support them everywhere)
