Alas, the 8 series sits in a different place in the market to a humble Golf hatch.
Mind you, a 1 series can be specced with an electric boot open/close plus the interior is more on a par with an 8’er unlike a Golf mk8’er.
C’est la vie.
There used to be a kit for mk7 Golfs using Skoda parts that could be retro-fitted allowing the boot to spring open on the key remote, maybe it would be mk8 compatible(?), have a search in the mk7 section.
The only caveat I remember was the gas struts were pretty powerful so you needed to be careful of low roofs in car parks and garages.
