Long-term functions: returning results from Orchestrator

Question

I have a use case that goes well with an example of a sequence of long-running functions: push the json payload through three functions, each of which modifies the json-graph and redirects it to the next function.

In the sequence example, the result of the sequence is retrieved by issuing a request to the orchestra.

In my use case, I want to directly return the result of three functions, essentially, as the answer of the third function.

Is there any way to do this? Is that even reasonable?

public static async Task<JObject> Run(JObject input, DurableOrchestrationClient client)
{
    string instanceId = await client.StartAsync("MyOrchestration", input);
    for (int i = 0; i < 60; i++)
    {
        var status = await client.GetStatusAsync(instanceId);
        if (status?.RuntimeStatus == "Completed")
        {
            return (JObject)status.Output;
        }

        // handle other status conditions, like failure

        await Task.Delay(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(1));
    }

    // handle timeouts
}
