Pulling monsters directly from bio or character sheet?

So i have a question, and I apologize if it has already been answered. Is there a way yo pull the default token for a monster (sized correctly, with bubbles filled out) directly from the creatures bio/character sheet? Hyperlinking monsters to each encounter note makes  getting all the mobs up a breeze, but when i pull the monster from the bio page a token linked to the monster lands on board; but its not the default token I've added, its sized wrong and none of the bubbles are filled out.  Is there something i'm missing? Any help appreciated.

Pull the monster out from the journal tab (from the name, not the handle). Or freshly from the Compendium. Pulling from a sheet only yields the graphic. It's a common misapprehension.
I understand pulling from the journal tab, my question is can you pull directly from the bio? When you hyperlink the monster in a note it pulls up the bio. Rather than having to find each monster in the journal can you pull token from bio somehow?  Just reduces the amount of searching for monsters.

Ah, I understand your workflow better. Unfortunately, no. It might be possible to jury rig something with an API script, but the sheet has no mechanism for placing a default token.
Bummer, I appreciate you taking the time to let me know. Maybe an upgrade in the future?

My guess is, not soon, since that's been the functionality forever, and Roll20 is very careful about touching the foundations.
