Well, you never mentioned wanting to tell the difference.

You're right, there's no easy way. What I've done for that, is a multi-step process:

1. save the current number of windows from winnr('$') to a variable
2. save the current window number from winnr()
2. open the quickfix window with :copen
3. detect whether the window changed. If the window changed, it was a location list window, not quickfix. If the window number did not change, you were already in the (only) quickfix window.
4. If location list, additionally detect whether the total number of open windows changed. If it did, close the newly opened quickfix window.
5. Jump back to the previous window if needed.
