Currently, Kagi has (if you hover/click the shield icon to the right of a result) an indication of the information it knows about a website (as well as a way for you to rank it higher or lower for yourself).
One of these is "ads/trackers". I imagine that it would be feasible for this to include some of the more common affiliate URL types, or third party lead/affiliate tracking bounce hops like awin.
Clearly there will always be some amount of ability to "defeat" this kind of measure by obfuscating links, but eventually the user needs forwarded to a link that has a referral parameter or a site that sets an affiliate cookie or similar.
The "tracker category" also can give a bit of extra information - things like "invasive fingerprinting, advertising"
