5E Conpendium and macros help

I am not sure if this is something that can be done or not but I am looking for a way to post stats off the compendium By a macro or a chat command. I am playing a sorcerer in a game we have access to the compendium and I have the spell Polymorph. I am looking for a way to send  the stats of the beast to the GM and any party member that I am targeting in a macro.  The best I  have been able to manage is a horrible mess of brute force by simply typeing the entire Stat block plus attacks as a single line in a whisper with a drop down query for who to send it to. This is my current code for just a half silver dragon tyrannosaurus rex. /w ?{Who?|P1|P2|P3|Self|gm} Half Silver Dragon Tyrannosaurus Rex Stats: **AC:** 13, **HP:** 136 ( 13d12+52 ), **Speed:** 50ft, **Str:** 25 (7), **Dex:** 10 (0), **Con:** 10 (0), **Int:** 2 (-4), **Wis:** 9 (-1), **Cha:** 5 (-3), **Perception:** +1, **Passive Perception:** 11, **Languages:** Draconic, **Blindsight:** 10ft, **Darkvision:** 60ft, **Resistance:** Cold, **Actions** **Bite:** +10 to hit, **Reach:** 10ft , 4d12+7, Piercing Dmg. Medium and smaller creatures get grappled **DC:** 17. until grapple ends the target is restrained and the t-rex can't bite another target. **Tail:** +10 to hit, **Reach:** 10ft, 3d8+7 Bludgeoning damage. **Multiattack:** two attacks against different targets Bite and Tail.**Breath Weapon 1:** 30ft cone of cold, 12d8 cold damage **Con save DC:** 17 for half. **Breath Weapon 2:** 30 ft cone of Paralyzing Breath, **Con Save DC:** 17 *FAIL* paralyzed for 1 minute, *Success* immune, End of turn save again. **Breath Recharge** +5 on a d6 this is just a messy wall of text that is hard to read and just requires me to make a macro for every possible beast transformation I might want.  My question is simply can I send a link to the compendium entry for the beast to the player by a macro  or enable drag and drop from the compendium in a macro that then whispers the information to a player? If not how  can I possibly improve that wall of text code to create a more readable post so I can start weeks of typing to make every possible best entry?.
Sure you can link to a page in chat. Go to the compendium and right click on the link for the creature you want and copy the link address for that creature. then make a macro with outputs that link to chat /w gm I change into a **[T-REx](<a href="https://roll20.net/compendium/dnd5e/Monsters:Tyrannosaurus%20Rex#h-Tyrannosaurus%20Rex)**" rel="nofollow">https://roll20.net/compendium/dnd5e/Monsters:Tyrannosaurus%20Rex#h-Tyrannosaurus%20Rex)**</a> &nbsp; See Basic Formatting here&nbsp; <a href="https://wiki.roll20.net/Text_Chat#Basic_Formatting" rel="nofollow">https://wiki.roll20.net/Text_Chat#Basic_Formatting</a>
