The hitbox could be the entire notification, except the two buttons on the top-right corner. It seems like a user friendly thing to do would be open a dialog asking the user what they want to do, presenting the same options as in the device widget Unfortunately the notification code doesn't know if it's a storage device or not. All it knows is that it's some kind of USB device. I think it's a good idea in the abstract, but it would take a lot of code to change. It's also unnecessary for a person using the default settings; the Disks & Devices widget *does* know which USB devices are storage devices, and it should appear to offer you the exact button you're looking for. Is there a reason that doesn't work for you? Have you disabled the Disks & Devices widget in your System Tray? 🐛🧹 ⚠️ This bug has been in NEEDSINFO status with no change for at least 15 days.
