[Remind-Fans] Notifications of up coming events

[Storm Dragon]

Howdy,

This worked brilliantly, thank you. It also got me to thinking, is there
a way to run a command that is not spoken as part of the reminder?

For example, I have a meeting on jitsi at 4:00PM on Friday, so I add my
reminder, can I also add the link, https://meet.git.si/... and then when
the reminder is sent to notifications, it would say "meeting on Jitsi",
and use xclip to place the link in the clipboard?

I did see the run parameter, but would it require a second entry?

Thanks,
Storm
