It would be very nice to have a feature, where you could click the notification, and after click, it would open/focus the program where the notification came from.
Agreed, though I do like being able to dismiss notifications just by clicking on them. Perhaps this could be implemented as a "Show Application" button that is automatically added to notifications from any application that has a window; I believe this is how the Cinnamon DE does it.

Agreed. Or maybe a Windows type of notification (https://i.imgur.com/1f7em1L.jpg) where you have a X icon where you could click on, and it would close the notification (and clicking anywhere else would open the program).
Generally speaking applications can already do this by adding an action. Just to be clear though, xfce4-notifyd does currently *not* support the "default action" feature, which seems to be what you are talking about and which would be invoked by clicking the notification bubble. For the moment I don't plan to change this behaviour - most users seem happy with being able to close notifications easily.
I like to just add an +1 extra on this feature request. Having an clickable dialog from an e.g. web push notification of firefox back to firefox loading an website would be very neat! Thanks for any consideration made.
Gnome3's notification icon shows the number of messages and clicking a message opens the app it's from. Very useful for Whatsdesk etc.
