Allow the API to run Macros

In order to make combat run faster, I would like to have certain Macros to be triggered automatically. Unfortunately, there seems there is no way to call a macro from the API. In my particular example, I want a certain Macro (which contains the character Statblock and Spells) to be executed automatically at the start of its turn. Right now I just display a couple of buttons on a new turn with those macros. As a DM, not having all those whisper messages on my own chat would greatly enhance the Roll20 Experience.

This is already possible. There are a number of ways to do this: sendChat('API','#someGlobalMacro'); OR sendChat('API','%{someCharacter|someAbilityOnThatCharacter}'); or get all the info using findObjs, .get, and sendchat to assemble some dynamic output based on the ability. You can't use the selected/target keywords in the first example, but can work around that with the dynamic output method where you get everything and process it in script.

In my case: '%{' + token.get('represents') + '|shaped_statblock}'
