If any notification bubble has links in it, that's a design problem. 
Unlike alerts -- which can be made to open in the background, if they 
weren't produced as an immediate result of something you did -- bubbles 
open on top of all other windows, so you might click them accidentally. 
So the only thing they should do when you click them is fade out, 
slowly enough that you can see what they said even if you did click 
accidentally. If you need something more complicated than that -- 
links, checkboxes, whatever -- you probably should use a background 
alert instead.
