Getting a link to previous job's artifacts from a CI job

I have a following usecase that I need help with.

Let’s suppose there is a GitLab CI pipeline composed of 2 stages with 3 jobs. There are two build jobs that generate large artifacts and a “notification” job that needs to send a Slack message containing links to those jobs’ artifacts:

stages:
  - build
  - notify

build:a:
  stage: build
  image: $BUILDER_A_IMAGE
  script:
    - make build
  artifacts:
    - name: release-a
    - paths:
        - build/release-a/

build:b:
  stage: build
  image: $BUILDER_B_IMAGE
  script:
    - make build_b
  artifacts:
    - name: release-b
    - paths:
        - build/release-b/

notify:
  stage: notify
  image: $TOOLING_IMAGE
  # Do not download built artifacts, they are huge
  dependencies: []
  script:
    - |
      release_a="build/release-a/main-file"
      release_b="build/release-b/main-file"
      # FIXME
      release_a_link="$CI_JOB_URL/artifacts/file/$release_a"
      # FIXME
      release_b_link="$CI_JOB_URL/artifacts/file/$release_b"
      cat >/notify <<EOF
      *Release A:* <$release_a_link|main-file>
      *Release B:* <$release_b_link|main-file>
      EOF
    - /scripts/slack-notify.sh /notify

Originally, all of these actions were performed in a single job, and I could simply use $CI_JOB_URL to generate links to the (future) artifacts of this job. Now this is no longer possible.

Is there a way to access the previous jobs’ IDs or URLs from the “notify” job? Or maybe a more idiomatic way of doing the whole thing?

I have a similar issue. I want to run a remote script that needs to download the previous job’s artifacts.

Did you find a solution to your problem ?
