Reuses an existing cached import result if one exists for artifactKey.
This method returns an invalid ImportResultID in the following curcumstances:
- An internal error occurs. This is accompanied by an error message in the Unity Log.
-
artifactKey contains an invalid Asset reference, or an invalid Importer type.
- There is no cached result, and an async import operation is queued. Completion of an async request is checked by calling AssetDatabaseExperimental.LookupArtifact.
