Footnotes in macros

I'm looking for a way to put footnotes in my macros next to numbers that won't show up when i roll. the reason being is that /r 1d20 + 1 + 4 + @{Character|Dex} + @{Character|Whatever the hell else} Is fine and all, but at some point I'm going to forget what that 1 and that 4 is. I would like to be able to do something like 1 <Racial> + 4 <Feat> where the system rolls the numbers fine, and if I look at the macro itself I can see why those numbers are there. Is there a way to do this? Or do I need to go put this in suggestions?
You can do this with inline rolls... [[ 1d20 [Base] + @{StrMod} [Str Mod] + @{ProfBon} [Prof. Bonus] ]]

It think it's worth mentioning that /r 1d20 [Base] + @{StrMod} [Str Mod] + @{ProfBon} [Prof. Bonus] would also work. You could take it a step further, and edit such [tags] into your Attributes directly.

Or do I need to go put this in suggestions? /r 1d20 + 1[Racial] + 4[Feat] + @{Character|Dex}[Dex] + @{Character|Whatever the hell else}[Whateverelse] - for standard output into the chat [[/r 1d20 + 1[Racial] + 4[Feat] + @{Character|Dex}[Dex] + @{Character|Whatever the hell else}[Whateverelse]]] - for an inline roll that once moused over, shows notations.
