Sounds like a nice idea

... since if your already using an action to mark inline reply as supported,
why  not use the action?

So instead of NotificationReplied(42, "Hi") do ActionInvoked(42, "inline-
reply::Hi")

That way we aren't actually changing how notifications work, just formalising a
way of using them
