Is it possible, if a player targets a monster, hits and rolls damage, for that damage to be automatically subtracted from the monster's HP?

Only with an API script, which is a Pro subscriber feature.

To be clear: without API scripts, macros can only read data from a sheet, they cant change data on a sheet. So you can get the value of an attribute, and roll it, but you cant change the value of an attribute.

You cant use an API script unless your GM is a Pro subscriber, but there are several that can change character sheets. ChatSetAttrs is the old standby. TokenMod is the swiss army knife for token manipulation.
