It's possible to catch highlight event with script today, like following code in Perl:

weechat::add_message_handler("weechat_highlight", "highlight");
sub highlight {
...
}

Please look at WeeChat doc for other possible events you can use.

This is already possible by merging awaylog.pl and exec.pl and change it apropriately.

I would also really like to see this feature in weechat.  Makes using any notification as simple as calling an executable.

Allowing some sort of "exec" command to fire off upon highlight would be a great addition.  This would allow for the "beep on highlight" rather trivially, using aplay or some such tool.  One could also configure gnu screen to flag the window, or numerous other things.

I'm aware this could potentially be done with a plugin, however, it would be duplication of work, as the plugin would have to watch all windows for highlight text, then fire off a command.

Perhaps this can be done by mapping a weechat command to the highlight event, allowing for one to use an "exec" plugin (i.e. shell.py) to then do the real aplay command.
