Linking a Rollable Token to the compendium

Here is what I like to do if possible.  I created a table full of monsters. Is there a way to link a default token to a rollable table  SO when it adds the token to the game its already in play?

unfortunately not. You can set a rollable table as the default token for a character, but you can't set multiple characters to be connected to the individual entries of the table.

I figured out how to do that.  Its a shame. Just imagine how convieant that would be.  Random Encounters to the next level..

What exactly is it you want to do? I dont understand what you mean by this: "Is there a way to link a default token to a rollable table  SO when it adds the token to the game its already in play?" I'm only asking because as a pro user, you have access to API scripts, so you can achieve most things with a script.

Exacly.   For example I am running Tomb of Anniliation.   For the jungle encounters.Just click on the macro token and it have set for the default token and ready to go.

There is a Summon script floating around somewhere, but it just creates a fresh token on the tabletop based on the one saved in your journal tab. For what you want to work, a script would have to "know" what creature to create based on the table result. It would be possible with an API script, I believe, but probably a lot more hassle and problematic than just rolling on a table and then dragging the appropriate monster onto the VTT. Hmm. I believe that the Summon script creates a token based on the name. You could have a table pass the name of a creature to the summon script, which would then create a prepped token from the copy in your journals. You wouldn't need to have an image in the table, just the name of the creature to summon. But a regular table by itself just puts an image onto the table top. It doesn't remember character associations and dependencies.
