Can YOU make a default VM start as "Detachable"?
Or set a config for "default start mode as [Normal/Headless/Detachable]" for each VM?
Thanks.

Re: Can YOU make default VM start ad "Detachable"?
You can do that in a desktop shortcut, which runs the command line:
VBoxManage startvm "VM name" separate
I think there is no way to do this in the main Virtualbox window. Would be cool if it was possible.
VBoxManage startvm "VM name" separate

What you also may not want, is to use the Shift key:
If you hold down the Shift key while clicking on the Start button, the VM will start headless. If you then click the Show button, the VM will switch to separate/detached.

You're welcome! I didn't know this either.
PS: The VirtualBox source code is full of surprises.
