Alex,

So, I want to re-phrase the question from a different perspective.  
I want to understand how to solve the problem outlined in [Generic watch, specific alerts, duplicate alerting?](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/generic-watch-specific-alerts-duplicate-alerting/51610) before I even think about attempting your suggestion.
