If Im reading a handout and it has a link to a character or creature or another handout, and I click that link it will pop open that character or creature or handout. Which is great. But what if I want to FIND that character or creature or handout in the journal list? For example, if I want to pull the character or creature out on to the map as a token. Is there a way to make the link make the journal list filter/display or go to the character or creature or handout in the journal list?
Hey there, for some handouts on things like the Tyranny of Dragons modules, if a token is displayed on that character's Bio & Info tab, you should be able to simply drag-and-drop from that tab onto the play area. Otherwise, the best way is to search for whatever you might need.

Just a minor note: Dragging the Avatar of a Character from the Bio & Info tab will create a token from the Avatar, not the Default Token for the Character. I.e: it will just be a graphic with no link back to the character in question.

Thanks that is quite useful to know. ...it will just be a graphic with no link back to the character in question. Actually I just tested, and while you are correct that it isn't the default token; it did have a link back to the character. Specifically the Represents Character  pull down was correctly linked. EDIT: is there any reason why puling the avatar doesn't result in the default token? Or why pulling the default token from the character Bio & Info tab isn't an option?

Ah, good to know. =D  I guess I should have said It won't have Bars linked to the Character, or auras, scale, vision and permissions set up.
