add option to activate child span

[slivkamiro]

Would it be possible to add option to activate a child span?

In datadog APM, the dd-java-agent is injecting the headers to my http client requests automatically from current active span. Since only the root span is active the requests are made as children of that instead of the other child spans I've created manually in the app.
