It's in the 'Upcoming' section.

Supported via hostextinfo and notes_url (Nagios 2.0 also has action_url, 
which is supposed to be replace this, sort of).

Supported, via the $HOSTADDRESS$ macro which is expanded for hostextinfo 
objects.

Not supported, but pretty trivial to hack up by yourself, provided you 
have the traps logged on your server.

Not really. Adding javascript code to the CGI's wouldn't exactly require 
a lot of skill, so feel free to do so if you like. All you need is 
pretty much the real_html_url_path variable (a global, I think) and a 
couple of lines of printf(). Not exactly earthshakingly innovative 
either, so I'm sure pretty much anyone should be able to do it.
