For instance PostgreSQL implements a INSERT / UPDATE / DELETE ... RETURNING ... statement. ISTM that is exactly the functionality you want, but with a different syntax. If there are no other (better) competing implementation syntaxes (I don't know any, but maybe other list members do), I would like MySQL to adopt the PostgreSQL example.
