iOS has a great Emergency Bypass feature for allowing certain contacts to ring through to you even when in Do Not Disturb mode. But on macOS, DND prevents any alerts on incoming text messages, even from those set as EB in iOS. This has caused me to miss urgent texts from my other half many, many times when my mac is in DND mode and my phone is not within earshot.
Is there any way to set specific contacts as EB on macOS?
To be clear, this is not an iOS question. This is specifically and only a question about setting EB for contacts on macOS. I'm running High Sierra on my MBP but if a newer version of macOS had this feature, I'd consider upgrading for it.

So the correct answer is... there is no such option in macOS. Bummer!
