Display an Attribute value base off of a Random Table Roll

This seems like it should be easy enough to do but I am drawing a giant blank, even after looking through all the documentation again. What I want to do in a single macro is roll on a random table, take that result (which is a random attribute really), reference the rolled attribute, and display it for the selected token.

I am not sure if you can do this, but if you can it would be something like Your random table (tablename) would be made of @{selected|attribute1} @{selected|attribute2} etc etc Then your macro could consist of simply: [[ 1t[tablename] ]] It may or may not work

That doesn't work.  The Table Roll is really just a name, it doesn't seem to be referenceable.

For reference this also doesn't work: [[ @{selected|[[ 1t[tablename] ]]} ]] with the table having things like token_name etc as entries. Tables just aren't meant to be used that way at present :(

The tables are parsed after everything else, the only way to make a table work in a math function is to have it be a real number, then it works. I do hope they change that.
