Roll Templates for Roll Tables?

Hi, I created a Roll Table with six items that each have a different icon and am using it as a virtual set of custom dice. I would like to format the roll result output that appears in the chat area, and wonder whether a roll template or even some different command syntax might do this. I’ve searched the Roll20 forums for a solution, but what I have found so far is scripting advice for a lot of functionality I don’t need. As you probably know, here is what the default output looks like for a roll table result: What I would like to see instead is the result icons separated by spaces where the plus symbols now appear — no roll command, no white backgrounds, no parentheses or plus symbols, and no roll total. I do not want any weighting or arithmetic applied to the roll, nor do I want to change the icon size. I just want to see the result icons rendered in the chat area. Conceptually, I can see how this might work — if I knew how to specify the icons the system renders in the roll result. But the only examples I have found appear to reference external URLs for icons, relying on scripting to associate these icons with roll table results. Thanks for your consideration.

API Scripter
Unfortunately, that's not possible in the chat without an API script, a Pro Subscriber Perk. If they all have equal weight, another option is to create icons for each of them and then select them, right click and click Multi-Sided->Random Side.  You'll get a nice display of them on the map.  However, you'll still get the obnoxious chat output...
Thanks, sorry to hear this but it’s helpful to know what works and doesn’t work. The DM I’m working with has a pro subscription for his campaigns, so we probably could give the API approach a try. Do you have any pointers about where to start?
