Opening Puzzles

I was wondering if it's possible to have a puzzle section feature specifically designed to show us a position and the only way to solve, is by correctly guessing the opening it arises from.

I think that would be really cool 🙂

Do you know about transpose?
~ A game can be transposed to a particular opening when the moves order leading to the position are different.
Like d4 d5 (Queen's Pawn Game) e4 e5 can be made as e4 e5 (King's Pawn Game) d4 d5, or d4 e5 (Englund Gambit) d5 e4, or e4 d5 (Scandinavian Defense) d4 e5.
See here 4 openings lead to same position. So which opening would you name?
Actually the final position is named as King's Pawn Game: Meyer Gambit, so the opening is King's Pawn Game.
How would one guess?

So, no such thing can't be there as the order is important else there eould be several openings for a particular game.
well obviously the examples used in puzzles wouldn't be things that would transpose.
