core: Notifications created by notify.persistent_notification can't be dismissed programmatically as they lack a notification_id
The problem
The notification platform notify.persistent_notification doesn’t accept notification_id similar to how the service persistent_notification.create does. This means that you can not dismiss specific notifications reliably or at all via persistent_notification.dismiss which accepts a notification_id in order to know which notification to dismiss.
It also appears that no documentation was added for notify.persistent_notification.
In particular, I need this feature because I’m trying to use notify.persistent_notification with alert’s.

Still valid and waiting PR #74822.
Yeah, it never got reviewed, because I had left it in draft pending writing documentation. Then I was busy for a while, including being on vacation, and it managed to get closed. I’ve done the documentation, and recreated the Pull request as #74822 now, this time not as a draft, so it should be ok this time.
