Out of the box, no I don't think there is a way you can do that.

If you use ndoutils, I guess you could write a custom notification
command script which gets the information you need by doing a SQL
query of the database.

I'm not sure you will want to thank me for this advice!  The NDO
schema can be a right pain.

Cheers,

Jim
