Rollable tables with description tied to the result?

Hi everyone, One of my player has a random ability that make random spells, i have made a rollable table to give me the name of the random spell but i have to go get the description and stats each time. Is there a way to have a description tied to the result of a rollable table to be displayed under it?

would have to rig it I think. 1. create a macro for each spell 2. create a rollable table with each macro as a result 3. roll on table - it will spit out the macro (not the result) into chat 4. hit up arrow to reload macro into chat typing box 5. hit enter to run the macro for the rolled result 6. it will spit out the result of your macro  This is a theory - I have not tested it. IIRC the rollable table only rolls 'on' the table and the outputs the answer, it does not roll the 'answer'. 
Have you considered using PowerCards (i.e. conditionals) to handle this?

API is not really my thing, i was just wondering if i missed a secret function of the rollable table. I can still take pictures of the descriptions and place them as token image, so when i roll the table the description will appears in chat. Hmm just tried that and it doesn't work, maybe with decks...
