Sounds like a good case for a rule:
something like: for all interface down events, go to a reset on match for
10 minutes node.
INput 2 to reset on match is the acknowledge event, and make sure the
right variable correlate (not just the node, but also the interface.)
If the reset on match does not trigger (i.e. the 10 minutes expires before
an ack event) then fire off the pager...
