Description

When using the send_resolved Slack configuration in AlertManager, it sends that text I configured to, and with green indication of resolved alert.
It will be very useful to be able to send a link to the original message in Slack, that the resolved message is referring to.
For example, we use PagerDuty to notify us for specific alerts using Slack, and they have a link for the resolved message with the text jump with a link to the original alert message in Slack

As you can see, there is a jump link that links to the archived message
