Request re-acknowledge of alert

We had a situation where an alert was acknowledged but forgotten (for various reasons).

Would it be possible to request a re-acknowledge every X minutes/hours if some conditions are met (e.g. high priority alert for a certain app).

Closest thing to that use case is a Notification Policy which can restart notifications after X-time for high priority alerts.

These can be configured under a team's Policies tab, and that policy might look something like this:

I should have mentioned earlier that restarting notifications through a Notification Policy will also revert the ack'd state too:
