Heiya Brian,
thanks a lot for your suggestion. To cut it short: It will not be
possible to do this with DissmissableSiteNotice alone.
I tried CenralNotice but it already fails to display the banner since it
errors out because the geolocation service it imperatively tries to
access is not accessible. Did not acitvate geolocation nor configure it
still to tries to call home somehow.
Your suggestion made my think that I should probably be possible to use
the Widgets extension for this, i.e. adding a widget to the sitenotice
that exactly does this.
However I have no idea about JavaScript so I am not able to do it. There
a tons of suggestions out there for JavaScript but whithout any clue its
still messy to implement.
Cheers Karsten

CentralNotice (Which is different from
DismissableSiteNotice) uses raw
html for the banner.
So you could definitely do that if you wanted in the central notice
banners. Using the current stewvote banner as an example
https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:CentralNoticeBanners/edit/stewvote
replacing the line
<a class="cnotice-full-banner-click external text"
href="//meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Stewards/Elections_…
with
<a class="cnotice-full-banner-click external text"
href="//meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:MyLanguage/Stewards/Elections_…
onclick="mw.centralNotice.hideBanner();return true;">
would probably do it [I have not tested this].
