There is currently a notification display that sends an e-mail to a
user - are there any plans to create a notification display type that
can trigger an applescript to run? The reason I ask is that it would
be nice to use growls ability to capture events from other
applications and use those events to trigger actions.

Example:

Growl Notification: New message in iChat
Applescript Trigger: Send notification to a Nabaztag
(www.nabaztag.com).

Growl Notification: New e-mail arrives
Applescript Trigger: Parse for specific From Address and only give on-
screen notification for specific users.

I was just wondering if this was on the horizon for Growl. I know
there are other apps out there that do some of these things - such as
Proxi from Griffin Technology, but I don't see why we should have to
run another application just to have events triggered since Growl is
already there.

Yes, this is something i was looking for two.
And Nabaztag is a good example.
