That's not possible if the messages themselves do not contain all of the
information that you would want to filter on.  For example, many
messages do not have the channel name.  Also, if they do have some
channel ID, it comes in quite a few different formats.

However, inside of Asterisk, we can infer what channel(s) the message is
related to based on what thread the message is being generated from, as
channels have a thread that owns them.
