Use Case: Upload Primary Content while creating WTDocument through REST endpoint

Description:

I'm able to create a WTDocument by using the POST REST Endpoint, but now while I create the document, I also want to upload primary content through the same endpoint, is there any way to upload primary content while simultaneously creating the Document?

I am no expert. We have a Customization area for these questions. Seems like Knowledge base has lots of articles on this:

From what I know, its a multi-step process. Create the document, upload the file and linked it to the document.

I never tried it, but with a batch process you should be able to create and upload the WTDocument in a single rest call. Unfortunately the olingo / odata batch process syntax is not that easy like creating a normal rest call and post a json.
