Would like to link a macro bar macro to opening a specific handout

I feel like I'm looking past an obvious solution. I just want to create a macro to put in the "macro bar" at the bottom of the screen, and when I push that macro button it would open a specific handout. Say you had a chart in a handout that gets referenced a lot, and you don't want to have to scroll through the Journal tab every time you want that handout opened. Just make a macro that opens it, put that macro in the "macro bar" at the bottom of the screen, and you would always have quick access to it. Anyone point me in the right direction? I know how to link [handouts] but getting a macro to open one has been confounding.

I think you'll need to make a chat menu linked to the handout. <a href="https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/7517082/macro-for-handout-quick-links" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/7517082/macro-for-handout-quick-links</a>

So I guess no way to just open it directly from the macro then?

Unfortunately not. Opening a macro is&nbsp; a hyperlink, and that requires clicking on the actual html that contains the &lt;a href&gt; link. It's browser action that opens the handout.
