Linux has the O_TMPFILE flag to open, for which this is one of the use cases described in the man page. I can’t say about “guaranteed” though. I assume Microsoft Transactional NTFS (TxF) also had (or has) this capability—but deprecated.

TxF is a corner stone of Windows Update, I can't really imagine them removing it. I always assumed they marked it deprecated to avoid supporting it towards customers.
