Sort of, yes. You could add a secondary web-page to fire off the scripts 
and have the notes_url in the extended info point to that page. That way 
you could add common actions to take even when nagios isn't noticing 
anything wrong. If you use 2.0, there's also the action_url that you 
could turn into a ssh:// or telnet:// link for hands-on management tasks.
