Blizzard are using a lot of "Kill Credit" NPC for the hidden mechanics of the game, such as proccing certain event sequences once you pass an invisible line, or making other NPC appear once you do certain action, or simply advancing in quest objective.
Some of the Kill Credits can be seen on Wowhead in quest requirements, as example:
Throwing Shade
have several Kill Credits.
You can notice that there is a Kill Credit for
Quest Credit Stalker - LW conversation 4
which brings out the question "Aren't there 1, 2 and 3?" and I ended up finding
Quest Credit Stalker - LW conversation 2
and
Quest Credit Stalker - LW conversation 3
. #1 probably doesn't exist as it was one of the earlier stages of quest and got renamed.
In that example I was lucky to find the Kill Credits that are linked to the quest, but there are way more to be found! As example:
Approach Senegos Credit
. I can make a guess that this Kill Credit activates when you come close to him and he starts some kind of speech. But how I am supposed to distinguish that from the other Kill credits?
So the question that came to me: There are addons and macros for quest completion, but is there an addon or macro or any other way to find out whenever you have activated a Kill Credit NPC and get it's ID?

2 and 3 may have been dropped during development, or they are used for earlier quests.

Doubt it, your game client may notice the kill, but it's just another NPC kill, unless you can come up with good criteria to recognize a kill credit NPC by name (they vary a lot)

Most of the time at least.
