Actually Storing and Reading Values for Macros using the Turn Tracker

I found  Storing and Reading Values for Macros using the Turn Tracker  in the "Stupid tricks" thread, and I am having trouble. In part, it says you can store a value in the turn tracker (without API) for an arbitrary token (not the selected token) using the syntax: /r 1d6 &{tracker:TOKEN_NAME} for a token associated with a character sheet. But as far as I can tell the TOKEN_NAME does nothing, no matter if it is a name of a token in the turn tracker or arbitrary text. It seems to function identically to:  /r 1d6 &{tracker} Everything else I find here says that without the API , there is absolutely no way to have a macro or ability store a value in the turn tracker for anything but the currently selected token .  I can read values from the turn tracker, as that post describes, with the syntax @{tracker|TOKEN_NAME} and I've found various other useful tricks for referencing arbitrary tracker values, but nothing that would let you set a turn tracker value to anything but the currently selected token. -- Joshua T

Thats my understanding-  you have to have a token selected to set the value.
