How to make a notification stay in a users inbox until they action it?

[Paul.Bakker@osr.treasury.qld.gov.au]

Wuggers,

I would like to send a notification workitemto a user (a simple piece of
text, with an instruction: eg 'Please do X').

That's easy. But I would also like the workitem to _stay_ in their inbox
until they've done it. How do you achieve that?

I thought I could do it with a terminating event (X_IS_DONE), but the
notification task is based on SELFITEM.DISPLAY, which is a synchronous
method.
As far as I understand it, synchronous methods terminate once executed, and
do not need to wait for the terminating event.

Is there a better approach? Would I need to build a new, asynchronous
version of SELFITEM.DISPLAY?

thanks for your thoughts,
Paul B
