Pacman hook to prompt for systemd services? (programming.dev)

I come from EndeavourOS and when I installed Arch manually, I realised that I had to systemctl enable quite a few services. That included NetworkManager and sddm.

I was wondering if there exists some PostTransaction hook available that would prompt me about enabling a service/socket after a package installs one?

So, if I were to do pacman -S extra/bluez-obex, it would later prompt me with:
Enable obex.service? [g|global] [u|user] [n|no]
And if I were to answer with anything other than "no"...
Start now?

Might be different for system services, but you get the point.

Sure, Package in AUR
For Services If package is removed

Well just reminders. So User needs to get active

Thanks
Reminders are just what I needed.
The interactive part would just have been a bonus.
