How do I set a click action on zenity --notification?

  • 772

Running 

echo "message:hi" | zenity --notification --listen

I can click the bubble and it disappears. The zenity program keeps running until I Ctrl-C. Is there a way to "catch" the click and make some program run if the bubble is clicked before it goes away?

    The request to perform an action when you click on the Zenity notification icon is a long standing request.

    According to the associated bug-report, it was proposed to perform this action when you pass a parameter like --cmd= - an example use-case was to invoke the terminal window when the notification was clicked i.e. by passing the parameter --cmd=gnome-terminal

    However, this is still outstanding, awaiting for a budding coder to take this forward.
