Comment (by costdev):

 @roytanck In terms of whether it's possible, definitely. We already have
 the `wp.updates.addAdminNotice()` method in JS, so something like this
 would be pretty straightforward to implement:

 - In the PHP AJAX callback: `apply_filters( 'wp_plugin_activated_message',
 '', $status['plugin'] )` and add a non-empty message to the response
 (sanitized/escaped as needed)
 - In `wp.updates.activatePluginSuccess()`: If not inside a modal and a
 message is present, output the message via `wp.updates.addAdminNotice( {
 className: 'notice notice-success', message: response.message } )`

 Though as you said, if that approach was used, it would be something for
 after this ticket, in a future major release as the hook would be an
 enhancement and would also require uptake by plugin authors.

 In theory, a default message and action could be used for 6.5.3, like:
 `[plugin] activated successfully. <a>Manage plugins/Reload the
 page/something</a>`. This would add the missing messaging whose absence is
 currently breaking the flow.
