Is there a way to output the urgent workspace name to a notify-send message? I can call a for_window hint to display a message with notify-send such as: for_window [urgent=latest] exec notify-send "your message here". I would like to add the workspace name or window name to the output of notify-send. Thanks.
Sure, but you’ll need to write a custom script to do that. See http://build.i3wm.org/docs/ipc.html
Get the layout tree, search for nodes that have the urgent property set to true and then call your command.

I, think that will be difficult: it seem that i3 only exposes that a window has an urgent flag but not which window has the latest urgent flag. So you will probably have to keep track of urgent windows yourself.
Thank you for your reply.
