Sharing pics from MM or Volo

So now that I have access to the entire MM in compendium form, is there a way I can just share the picture of the monster with the players? This is possible around the table (flash the book) or as a feature in Fantasy Grounds, but I can't seem to find a way to easily do that in Roll20 without sharing the entire description and attack actions too... Ideally it would be nice if there was a way to just flash the pic in the chatbox. Currently my solution is just google image search and find a bugbear or whatever and use a pic macro to wrap it into the chatbox...

Drag the token to the map and then select it and hit CTRL + Z.

A GM can show everyone in the game an enlarged version of a selected object by using the Keyboard Shortcut Shift+Z

That works well with tokens, but not so much with journal avatars (which seems to be what Kelly is asking). The latter ability would be most welcome. I know we can share a journal with all players, but that's unneccesarily cumbersome compared to a hotkey similar to shift-z

Yes, I sometimes keep a copy on the map for that purpose, but it would be a lot more efficient to be able to run a macro on a selected token to display the associated journal art.

I can't seem to find it currently, however..

Am I mistaken or do all of the monster journal pics also have the name of the monster displayed right in the graphic?  I haven't been using the monster pics in LMoP or SKT because most of the time I want the players to see what the monster looks like, but not necessarily positively identify what the monster is.  Seems like a design flaw to me.  The name of the monster could have been just entered into the bio notes and we could remove it as the GM at our option.

ColorEmote is one API script that can do the above.  The settings of ColorEmote script allows the GM to choose in advance whether it will display the Token Art, or the Journal Portrait associated with a token.  From there you create a macro that calls ColorEmote, click the token and click your macro, and it shows (either the Portrait or the Token) in the chat.
