Token Reference Sidebars

Often it comes up, in the form of GMing or even just playing, to not fully have access to all the statistics necessary for a token. Having multiple character sheets in popout tabs and leafing through them for the relevant statistics, or needing multiple browser tabs, can often get tedious, and it does not always help remind you if there's something about a given unit you shouldn't forget. Hence, the notion of a sidebar for given tokens. A small box that appears when you select a token that includes whatever text you need to reference on the fly, including its defenses against various types of attacks, whether it has any special ability you need to handle on its turn like regeneration, or the like. Such a sidebar could be just a basic text field that the GM can write (but players can only read) in, and allow it to reference the character sheet of the token's associated character for pulling values so you can have a basic script that automatically pulls the defenses and the like of everything you use it for. I believe this would be a very significant quality-of-life style feature, both for GMing and for playing multiple characters simultaneously (such as might happen with characters with pets).
