On-Click Token Descriptions

Basically, I was thinking it would be awesome if there could be a way for players to click on a token and in addition to the little bubbles, you get a little text window that the GM can write whatever they want in. You could use this for many things, but some examples would be: A player clicks on a painting on the wall, and they get a little text box that says "This is a painting of the Clan Chieftain. Below the portrait is a banner that reads: "Hold Fast!" Click on a statue found in a dungeon: "This statue is an extremely life-like representation of a half-elf scout. It almost looks as if he was alive once..." Click on some tracks in the snow: "These tracks appear to have been made by a very large creature with bear-like paws. However, the extreme length of the claws would suggest that this is no ordinary bear..." This would make the maps and environments we as GMs create even more interactive for our players, not to mention being just plain fun :) Also, I imagine it would be rather easy to implement, although I speak as one with no coding experience at all...

Cool suggestion for a new feature. In the meantime, there is an API to do this, called "TokenNotes API". Since you are Mentor account you can use the API. Here is a thread about that particular API script and how to use it, <a href="https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/1760741/script-t" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/1760741/script-t</a>...
