How do you access the contents of the name field in an icon for use in a macro?

In a big battle it can be difficult to keep track of which monster or npc maps to a post in the log, so I am trying to pull the contents of the name field in an icon into a macro. Can anyone tell me the variable name which I could use in a macro to pull in the icon name field?

@{selected|token_name} or perhaps @{target|token_name} should work for the name field on the token. edit: if you use the target version, you might need @{target|target1|token_name} for the full syntax. Hope that helps.

Hope that helps. If it is bound to a specific sheet, you can also use @{character_name} rather than token_name.
