Notifications are really limited in the amount of information that they are able to present. Sometimes, it is needed to have the "action" open up a new window with more info on whatever the alert was about.
There are a couple of existing methods that could be used to display such a window: JamfHelper, DEPNotify, etc. However, they are either aimed at a different feature set, or are limited in customisation options, or both. Additionally, such an approach requires management of a second tool, increasing complexity.
It would be really useful to have a simple "More info" window that used the same branding/style as the notification, triggered by the Action, and which could display a text-based message. Bonus points if it supports markdown!
I appreciate that this is a significant scope creep, so I'm not really expecting it to be accepted lol. But if Ben (or anyone else) is bored in lockdown, I (for one) would really appreciate this. If I only had enough Swift knowledge (or the time to learn) I'd give it a go myself...
