Given that you are *not* waiting for the builds, there might not
actually any builds to link to. `Trigger` just creates build-requests
which may not have triggered builds by the time B1 has finished (and
there is no way to link to a build-request in 0.8.x). That being said,
if the builds have started by the time B1 is finished, it is probably
possible to be able to link to them. You will probably have to modify
`Trigger` to record the buildset that it creates, and then at the end
of B1, use that to find any builds that have been started. I'd start
by looking at the code for `Trigger` that links the builds in the
`waitForFinish=True` case.
