Designate which player can see a specific token or Ruler line.

An option to be able to designate which player can see what in terms of Token  and/or Ruler  and/or  Draw Tool.  Even if it was a token that I can drag and drop on the board that could act as a visual cue to a specific player that only they can see.

You can do this with invisible tokens. Make a fully transparent, 70x70 PNG and upload it. Create a character named PC X's Visual Cue (or something to that effect) and make it Editable and Controlled by the associated player but do not add it to their journal. Give the token a 0 aura in a color (maybe matching the player's color next to their name), and make the token the default token for the Visual Cue character. Repeat with a new character, token, and aura color for each player. When you need the visual cue, you can drag the Visual Cue character from the journal to the correct spot, and the player will be able to see it.
Interesting, I'll have to try this.  I've been running into immersion issues with the Darkness, See Invisibility, Traps, etc.  I wanted a way for certain characters to have knowledge of certain things without needing whisper a complicated mess of directions.  Thanks for the tip, I'll try it next session!
See the Index post for the Roll20 Stupid Tricks thread (<a href="https://app.roll20.net/forum/permalink/5899495/" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/forum/permalink/5899495/</a>) - there are a number of tips on Invisible Tokens. That said, your suggestion about Ruler lines is a good one. The current choice is an improvement over what we had for many years, but I can see examples where you might want to show a Ruler line (or a ping) to just a certain player(s).
