Handouts with Multiple Textboxes that are Visible or Hidden based on a PC's Stats

Hello, I would love to have the ability to create a handout and enter information that is only visible to certain players based on their PC's stats.  As an example, I could create an "Orb of Arcane Insight" handout to represent an item the PCs discover in game. Then I could enter some very basic info, like: "This is a strange looking ball made of glass or crystal."  <- This info would be in textbox 1, and something anyone with permission to view the handout can see. Then I could add additional text into textbox 2, such as: "This orb looks like a common arcane focus except for the interesting symbols representing the school of Divination magic on the side." Then for textbox 2 I can set a variable, such as Arcana (+5).  If the PC in question has an Arcana skill of +5, then they can see textbox2. And so on.  The end result would allow DMs to create handouts that provide different levels of information to players based on their character's knowledge.  The variable could be a skill, or an alignment, or a race, etc. Thanks, -Adam
I wonder if extending gmnote or tokennotes would satisfy this?  You could build in functionality that would set conditions on what was returned from the notes.  Admittedly, I have not used either of those scripts, but reading some of the gmnote thread makes it seem feasible.  Good idea though!
