Does anyone know if it’s possible to link directly to a message from an alert notification?

Our stream outputs quite a lot and results in pages of logs. Having to find the actual message is pretty hard through the stream URL. We currently use:  
[https://our.logging.solution/messages/graylog\_3/${message.id}](https://our.logging.solution/messages/graylog_3/%24%7Bmessage.id%7D)

But having the index hardcoded is obviously not the way to go. Any ideas?

No, that’s currently not possible.
