Hi Aaron, I was only thinking of additional plugin specific events and not additional information to an existing event. Are there likely situations where the latter is necessary? I assumed that all useful information about an event, like 'network creation' for example, would be available at the api level itself.
I think it should be possible to allow the plugin to modify a notification. But it would be adding more complexity, so I dont know if we want to introduce it unless it is an important usecase.
