Add clickable link to feedback notifications. When entity owners receive notifications about new feedback, the notification now includes a link to navigate directly to the entity's feedback page.

FYI you can use parseEntityRef to parse entity refs

const entityUrl = `/catalog/${namespace}/${kind}/${name}/feedback`;

Thanks for suggesting this change however it is not guaranteed that this is always the entity URL - consumers are free to attach the catalog plugin and "feedback" tab to any custom route name of their choosing even though this is the default. Therefore we probably need a more configurable way to construct this url that is consistent with how the frontend plugin is setup


const payload: NotificationPayload = {
title: `New feedback for ${req.params.entityRef}`,
description: `Comments: ${JSON.parse(comments).additionalComments}`,
link: entityUrl,
};
