Hello, yes you can I believe it's handled with lua and xml scripts, you could just use an alert addon like power auras or make it yourself but it's possible.

Copy the necessary FrameXML components and backport them where necessary.

I don't know which file(s) handle this.

Simple way to learn is trial and error, reverse engineer scripts until you understand what certain statements do and it should come pretty easily LUA is one of the easiest scripting languages and if you know how to make websites so is XML.
