Selecting tokens

Is there a way to give players the ability to select tokens that they aren't controlling? I'd like to include things like names of party members or bad guys in some of my macros, but from what I've seen it's either full access to edit a token, or not able to select it at all. Am I missing something?
Not currently.

I'm not sure if it would work but have you tried the new feature @ {selected|token_name} in your macros? I haven't played with it much yet so I'm not sure it would work for you.
Thanks HoneyBadger! @Metroknight, I have not. I'm not currently able to select anything other than myself so I couldn't even target them to pull their token_name. :(

Ok. It was a thought. This is a new feature so i didn't if you new about it. I take that you are a player not the GM.
Correct, I am but a player :(

Yeah that is a limitation to it. If read the thread about the new features in the on topic section, you will discover some nifty things happening.
I'll go check it out now! Thanks for the tip!
