I dunno if this is possible in C4D, I'm afraid. I guess it is, but there must be a lot of Expresso work to do, and I don't have much Expresso knowledge.

As for "Linear worlflow", it's exactly the same as Vue's gamma options, except that  you either render with a gamma of 1 (linear workflow off), or 2.2 ( linear on). You can of course use other gamma values, but they are not found in the Project settings, but in the Render settings.
