Is it possible to show a Handout to all players at once with a Macro?

Is this possible, or even it is possible to call up a token or picture? I would like to be able to click a Macro button and have something appear on the screen so all the players can see it, and then I would just delete it when done... -Ajax

If a Handout is in the journal of all players, then when you click the "Show to Players" button in the top right of the "Handout" window and it will pop up on their screens (along with any images or text) For tokens that are selected you can press shift + Z to zoom in on that token for all players. Deleting things immediately after you show them would probably be more difficult and require the API.
Roll20 Wiki said: After you've given Players permission to view the Handout, you can also use the "Show to Players" button to force the Handout to open on the screens of Players who can view it. I'd imagine an API script could handle this process from the chat.

I figured out a perfect work around, and it works fine, thanks for the suggestions... -Ajax

And now I am curious the workaround you've come up with, if you don't mind sharing? :)
I am using this to show small snippets of information that keep coming up, in this case the Moves in Dungeon world, by cropping an image of the move (see picture) and saving it, then dragging into Roll20, I simply created a character and used the snippet as a token, when needed just grab it from the journal and delete when you're done... It works... -Ajax
