I'm trying to find a way to tell if a firing alert is a repeated one. Why I want this is because it would be nice to output this information in for example Slack so we know if the alert is new or repeated, eg inside the timeframe of repeat_interval setting.

I was hoping this would be available in the .Status data however it seems like that can only contain "firing" or "resolved".

Would this be possible to implement somehow or is it already available?
