Linking tokens (and settings) to character sheets

Hi As a GM I create character sheets for my monsters. It is just easier for me to drag and drop a character from the sheet onto the table to generate its token. I also use this to create a bio and a portrait for the monsters that I can share with the party when they come across one of these monsters; i.e. a portrait showing what a goblin looks like and the general description of its behavior. However, I have noticed that when you drag a character onto the table, it generates the token but the token is not linked to that character sheet. I know that you can then manually link it to a character sheet but the more times you are creating tokens, the more cumbersome it becomes. I am not sure if this has been raised before but I think it would be nice if you could set up a link on the token such that it would automatically be linked to the character sheet it was spawned from. It would even be better if it could keep settings for attributes linked to the character sheet. For example, if you link the red circle of the token to the HP of the character sheet, it would keep that whenever you generate a new token. Thanks
Create a token first, then link it to the character sheet, and then set that token as the default token for that character sheet. Each time you drag it out onto the map after that... it will have all the same settings as when you set it as a default token... including being linked to that character sheet.
