Add an on/off "lightswitch" on tokens (for dynamic lighting)

I know this may seem like a little thing, but as a DM it gets tiresome every time a  player decides to light a torch or cast a light spell.  The DM has to select their token, open the token, navigate to the light section (bypassing the new dynamic lighting stuff cuz it scares me) type in the appropriate radii of dim and bright light each token is supposed to "see", click "all players can see light," exit out and have a conversation with the player on if they can "see" anything. Pretty much same process for when they extinguish a torch or light spell.  If players just had access to a simple ON/OFF switch on their tokens, perhaps elegantly located on the bottom right of their selected token, that would go a long way to solving all our first world problems. Apologies if this has already been mentioned somewhere...
