Appending text to a handout thru a macro to create an "on the fly adventure log"?

Hi all I know you can create handouts with the APIs. I was thinking it would be nice if players could have an emote command which would also append text to a handout. This would enable on the fly campaign log creation from the roll20 chat window. Has anyone done or seen something like this? thanks!

I have an API script called NoteLog:&nbsp; <a href="https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/4121164/script-notelog-v0-dot-1-2-updated-with-inline-roll-expansion-and-multiline-message-adding/?pageforid=4121164#post-4121164" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/4121164/script-notelog-v0-dot-1-2-updated-with-inline-roll-expansion-and-multiline-message-adding/?pageforid=4121164#post-4121164</a>
This would be very handy for keeping track of kills during the game, random treasure, and names I come up with on the fly for NPCs that turn out to be recurring characters.&nbsp; Is there a way to word a macro so I can click a button and enter the text that way?&nbsp; My experiments just end up putting the macro text into the note-log.
The Aaron this looks like the bomb! I'm sure this is a super basic question but how could I "prepend" the speaker name to the log? Valerie I'm sure what you are suggesting is possible but the command line interface isn't worse than doing a whisper and possibly faster
