Description
I've been scripting up some scenarios I'm expecting to live GM, and there are situations I'd like to flag up to the GM. For example, a notification to the GM screen when a given object is scanned by the players, and such. Triggering code in that situation is simple enough, but I don't see a way of just posting a notification or message or whatever to the GM display (kind of like you can display messages on any player ship station, but I don't think I can use that function for the GM screen because the GM screen isn't on a ship).
Is there a way of doing that? If not, it'd be a nice feature to have.

Define the GM-facing entry point and its behavior for events such as an object being scanned; no specific files or tests are named in the issue.
