product notifications link from my account

I am missing a product notifications link from the my account section. I wonder if it should be there allready or if it needs to be coded in.
Is there an easy way (via admin) to add a link to account_notifications from the my account section?

to clarify:
i do have
if (CUSTOMERS_PRODUCTS_NOTIFICATION_STATUS == '1')
declared in tpl_account_default, but it doesn't show?

Ah, now i remember why i had this turned off, i think the notifications are a great idea but preferably only if the customer did not yet order a product and maybe wants to be informed if it goes on sale or similar.

Problem with putting this status to 1 is that after checkout these notifications are enabled by default and people tend to enable these out of laziness instead of interest. (at least thats what i think)
also, some of my products, - like doorletters- will be ordered in multiple quantities, -different letters- and getting notifications for each letter is, well...

anyway, thanks for reading, ignore this post, nothing to see here :oops:

Re: product notifications link from my account

just in case someone thinks i have a point (doubt it)
simply setting true to false in includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/templates/tpl_checkout_success_default.php
will at least uncheck these boxes by default

<?php echo zen_draw_checkbox_field('notify[]', $notifications['products_id'], false, 'id="notify-' . $notifications['counter'] . '"') ;?>
