Hi,

I know that if I create a custom type notification, I can provide a `data.message` field with a I18n scope value to form the text of the notification. This is the code in the `notification-item` widget:

[https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/master/app/assets/javascripts/discourse/widgets/notification-item.js.es6#L66-L90](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/master/app/assets/javascripts/discourse/widgets/notification-item.js.es6#L66-L90)

However, in the function that generates the URL, I don’t see a way to return a custom URL in case the notification’s type is custom:

[https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/master/app/assets/javascripts/discourse/widgets/notification-item.js.es6#L25-L55](https://github.com/discourse/discourse/blob/master/app/assets/javascripts/discourse/widgets/notification-item.js.es6#L25-L55)

I was thinking in reopening the widget and add code for such extra case, but the widget is not being exported ☹

What could be a solution for this? I’d appreciate some help.
