screen or pane position of display-message

Message
I hope to control the screen position of a display-message  within an output pane.  Is it possible to keep such requests off the center of an output pane?
 
In general can such messages, alerts etc. be position controlled, and if so, how?

Hello Cyril,

I am not sure in what way capi:display-message and output pane are related,
but AFAIK you cannot control the position of the dialog box displayed by capi:display-message
on the screen.

| In general can such messages, alerts etc. be position controlled, and

For many popup confirmers you can pinpoint the position, e.g.
    :popup-args (:best-x 100 :best-y 200)
