Yes ☹

I expected to hear from an experienced developer whether creating custom notifications is something “advisable”. I say this since I haven’t seen plugins doing it (if someone has, please let me know) nor many topics related (others than [this one](https://meta.discourse.org/t/creating-custom-notifications/58950), which I’ve followed to create a custom notification from the backend).

In any case, I was thinking in submitting a PR to add something like the following snippet at the bottom of the url method. That would solve my problem and even be useful for other plugin developers.

```
if (attrs.notification_type === CUSTOM_TYPE) {
  return data.custom_url;
}

```

Even if it’s not worth its merging, I think I could reopen the widget and do the same, but I would need the widget to be exported, so another PR 😅

I hope to get some advice for my issue this time 🙂
