Yes, that's no doubt possible.  Perhaps it's also possible
to make changes to variable `dired-hide-details-mode' change
the mode.  If so then you could just add that variable to
the default value of `desktop-locals-to-save'.  And since
that's a user option, users could then control whether that's
the behavior they want, i.e., whether desktop should restore
whether details were shown/hidden.
