Target Select in Dropdown.

Is there a way to get a @{target|chump|token_name} to work in a drop down? I know about replacing certain characters, but it doesn't seem to be working propperly. Currently I have: /em ?{law|Minor Denial,decrees that &#64{target&#124chump&#124token_name&#125 may not take a minor action until the end of the round.|Diplomatic Imunity,decrees that &#64{target&#124chump&#124token_name&#125 may not attack &#64{target&#124patsy&#124token_name&#125 until the end of the round} But that outputs "@{target|chump|token_name}" rather than bringing up the selection dialog. Similarly, if I actually leave the '@' character in, it just throws errors. Why are drop downs so bloody hard to do basic things with?

Due to the order of operations , Attributes are (i.e. must be) expanded before Roll Queries are executed; it is not possible to work around this using HTML entities. Please see the Note in Advanced Usage for Roll Queries for more information.

It seems like I can get around the problem by making my selections before going into the query. Queries NEED to get worked on at some point. There are too many inconsistencies and basic functions that just don't work. Is there a reason that the order of operations can't just be top to bottom, outside to inside?
