I solved this with multiple names for the alert script (using soft links),
but that only gives the alert type, not any details.

E.g. alert_tempfail is a soft link to the "generic" script omsa_alert,
which starts with

   ProgName=$(basename $0)
   # remove the leading "alert_" (bash syntax):
   EventName=${ProgName#alert_}

   case $EventName in
      tempfail)
         # alert-specific actions go here
         ;;
   esac

each script is installed with it's specific name, like

   /usr/bin/omconfig system alertaction event=tempfail \
         execappath=/usr/local/bin/alert_tempfail
