Targeted/Granular Global Announcements

We would like to post announcements to certain populations of students onto the Canvas Dashboard. Something that looks like the global announcements would be ideal, or at least placed in the same area.

The kicker is that we would like to have these announcements targeted to students who have fulfilled certain criteria that isn't stored in Canvas. i.e. students who have enrolled in a certain amount of units...Identifying information stored on our SIS/server that runs our Canvas API calls. So the current system using Canvas course roles is just too limiting for this particular case.

I found this thread that pitched a very, very similar question, but unfortunately a solution didn't seem to be in the cards. Any ideas or thoughts for directions to a solution?
