No, it was designed to work with programs that emit notifications in
certain supported formats, which are assumed to include the file name
and the line/column numbers of the locus of interest.  See the file
etc/compilation.txt in the Emacs source tree.

Anyway, I already said I'm okay with a hook there, so you are
responding to a marginal comment.  Would you like to submit a patch
that adds such a hook in compilation-find-file?  Then we could declare
victory, even if we disagree about that minor issue.

Thanks.
