### Feature description
Currently, it's possible to enable certain push notifications in the web client settings, which will enable desktop notifications through the client. However, if a user only uses the desktop client, there is no way for them to know that such settings exist as they are not mentioned anywhere within the desktop client. I would therefore suggest that these settings are made available inside the desktop client too or that at least a link to these settings within the web client is included in the settings dialog. This way users can be made aware of these options in a location they would expect.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the desktop client's settings dialog and the existing web client push-notification settings. Decide whether the desktop client should expose those settings directly or link to them, then verify that users can discover and access the notification controls from the desktop client.
