[hint?] Macro that pops a window with radio buttons.

Hi folks, The new Marvel Heroes system requires that you choose from a list of dice each time you roll. You can several categories, and each category has at least one dice in it. You may choose one or more dice from each category to add dice to your pool. Once you've chosen the dice for the pool in this roll, you roll them and then decide which results you wish to use, and which to discard. There's a little bit of strategy here, so this last bit can't be automated. Anyway, I thought I read on a blog or something that a popup window with tick boxes or radio buttons might be possible... Anyone know anything about this?
Not possible without a new added feature.
Couldn't you obtain similar results using a Roll Query displaying several options ?
Radio button, no... but there is a drop down list option. However, it doesn't sound like it would work the way you want it to work since once you roll the macro, you can't go back and pick and choose what to keep manually.

You can't produce radio buttons, but you can produce dropdown selections, which are functionally identical (here is a list of options: pick exactly one). The post-roll dice selection, as you say, can't be automated. You'd have to either indicate your choices in chat, over VOIP, or use /roll instead of inline rolls, and drag dice to the tabletop.
A popup with dropdowns would probably do the job. It would mean we can only select one from each category. Tick boxes would be better. I guess that's not a thing.
