There is WKNavigationAction._mainFrameNavigation to access the navigation from the action. There should be similar SPI that works for subframe navigation actions and for the WKNavigationResponse.

This seems odd to me. WKNavigation is supposed to represent, and is publicly document as such, the navigation of a "webpage", which maps to main-frame navigations. I'm not sure exposing, even as SPI, navigation objects for subframes makes all that much sense.

Comment on attachment 366076 [details] Patch v2 View in context: https://bugs.webkit.org/attachment.cgi?id=366076&action=review > Source/WebKit/ChangeLog:9 > + Given a WKNavigationAction or a WKNavigationResponse, it should be possible to determine Sam is right that WKNavigation is supposed to represent a page (aka main frame) navigation so exposing it for subframes seems odd.

I think you could achieve your stated goal by giving WKNavigationAction a property indicating whether it has the download attribute, and giving WKNavigationResponse a pointer to WKNavigationAction. That would avoid introducing a WKNavigation object for things that are not main frame navigations.
