2 years ago it would be nice to also have a image parameter. a base64 encoded image seems like it may be to much to send via osc, maybe the filepath/uri of an image could work?

What's the idea?
Problem
As OSC applications become more complicated they may output messages to the user, such as errors, warnings, status messages, etc. If a user is in VR they must either use SteamVR or other third party overlays to check the status of the OSC application manually.
My Proposal
Now that VRChat has a notification toast system, I propose an OSC endpoint be exposed that will allow OSC helpers to send a toast notification to the user.
The endpoint would look as follows:
/notification/display- 2 Parameters (Message -string, Type -string)messageparameter would be the utf-8 message to display in the toast notificationtypeparameter would be used to determine which icon to display in the toast (from a preset list of possible icons)Is there another way?
Current solutions are to either build a SteamVR overlay application, or to rely on 3rd party tools (such as XSOverlay, OVR Toolkit, etc.)
