Comment:

 Unfortunately, the post updated messages "API" such as it is is very much
 legacy code that's likely beyond the scope of being fixed because back-
 compat concerns. Granted, you're effectively asking to add string support,
 but I'm not sure that's a great solution either – it would further
 complicate an already convoluted system.

 Short of straight up replacing it (which would be my vote), perhaps
 through an admin notices extension of the
 [https://make.wordpress.org/core/2016/10/03/feature-project-proposal-
 notifications-api/ Notifications API] @johnbillion is interested in
 working on, I'm not sure introducing an additional vector through which
 extend post messaging support is the way to go.

 Closing as wontfix.
