I'm guessing noone has needed it bad enough to hack the gui source

capabilities of invoking certain commands when something happens, and
some very clever logic to not send notifications if certain other
criteria are met.

Nagios supports acknowledgements and it will store the messages for you,
so that shouldn't be a problem.
