Spike around notification library beeep

[anjannath]

This issue is for a spike around the library https://github.com/gen2brain/beeep for implementing notifications in systemtray. There's also another library for dialogs and popups which might be worth looking at https://github.com/gen2brain/dlgs

Ref: #3154

While we can make a toast appear with this library, we need to make sure in this spike that the an error is shown when an error occurs (and possibly link to a file that contains the full log). So perhaps you need to split the work into two parts: 1. make sure we can have a toast appear on all platforms (when possible), 2. show error in a concise and detailed format.

gen2brain/beeep#18 seems it is not possible to open a related application yet?

[anjannath]

So the library will work for us in case of windows, but for that we can directly use the https://github.com/go-toast/toast.

In case of macOS it cannot show an application icon on the notification (unless we make the binary an app bundle) also, upon clicking on the notification it opens up a File Pick windows (finder like) which seems to be the default and cannot be changed.

@gbraad Yes, in macOS it does not support opening a related application, by default it opens that file picker window i mentioned.

I think we can conclude the spike. It feels like this library will not help us much...
