Setting Default Token Bars to Link Attributes when "Represents Character" is true

The recent changes to default tokens are great! It's so much more streamlined to create NPCs, add a photo, and be able to edit and drag into a new default token representing that character in one fell swoop. However, the one thing I would still love to see is the ability to set default attributes for token bars to link to when creating a token that represents a character -- so that a new default token will always set Bar 1 = hp, Bar 2 = npc_ac. The campaign settings option for "Token Defaults" where you can set the bar location, style, etc lets you put in static numbers as defaults, but it would be really great to be able to add a dynamic default for tokens that represent a character. I never really need to make tokens for a dozen different NPC types that all happen to have 17/17 hp; I do often want to drag out a Plesiosaurus token with its default 68/68 hp and a Hunter shark with 45/45 hp and a Killer Whale with 90/90 hp, which I do by connecting them individually to the @{hp} attribute. If I could set them all to just pull from the attribute automatically, I wouldn't have to edit the tokens at all on creation. I hope there might be streamlined way to build this on top of the new system for default tokens, which just needs this one additional function to be really awesome!
