[Dx4win] Using Dx4win alert levels for DXCC Challenge?

I would like to receive an Alert from Dx4win when a new band country is 
spotted. I work mainly CW, some SSB, and occasional RTTY. I am 
interested in working as many band countries as possible (DXCC 
Challenge Award), but I am not chasing new entities per mode.

In File > Preferences > DX Alerts, I set "New Award Band". This will 
alert me when a new band country is spotted, but it will also give me 
an alert if the spot is higher priority, i.e. "New Country" or "New 
Award Mode".

Since I work so little RTTY, most RTTY spots cause an alert because 
they would be a new mode for me. I do not care about increasing my RTTY 
mode total. The quantity of the alerts makes the alert system of little 
use for my case. 

I would like a way to set the priority of New Band higher than New 
Mode. Is this being considered for future releases?
