I’d like to suggest SD has the option to add a free text alert (like the ones for timers) but assign them to waypoints (WP). The idea is that one could place a WP at an RPS boundary and as that WP is passed an alert would pop up with “Call for new RPS”. Alternatively, one could set up a WP 10 nm from a destination airfield which could say “Call for airfield info”. I have timers set up for FREDA/tank changes at 30 min intervals but these never coincide with my destination arrival so it could also be useful to set a WP alert at a destination ATZ boundary (or TOD) such that you get a reminder to do a pre-arrival FREDA.
It might be said you should be able to remember to make a radio call or do a FREDA check as you approach a destination overhead, but you could also say you should be able to recall to do regular FREDA checks yet SD timed alerts are provided so why not other aids.
Realise this is similar to "Pop up comment" but by assigning to WP's this would mean the rules on when to activate would be the same as for route tuning WP's. If you modified the route in flight then guess all the WP's become redundant but at least you have it for the times the plan is followed.
