Based on my knowledge, you are going to need an Apex Trigger to do the job.
Think of this way, Let's say you have one record for Call__c object and 50 records for Transaction__c object which relates to Call__c. Now, if you update that Call__c object record as Status = Submitted then how would all the 50 Transactions__c records updates by themselves? There is no standard functionality to do the job yet!
I have just answer the similar question with different object name.

i just want to invoke the trigger in transaction and if i can update atleast single record of transaction thats enough it will invoke the trigger.
