Token Mouseover Text

While the marks do help a lot for tracking effects on creatures, it would be nice if there was a text area you could edit that would provide mouseover text for the token.  Either that, or it would be nice if I could edit the different token markings to provide custom mouseover text similar to how you can associate numbers with these marks.  The "DM Notes" section could maybe be converted to do this.  While I like the DM notes on tokens in its current form, it takes way too much time to open and edit those notes, to see what's going on with each token, especially when you have a battle going on and there are 15-20 tokens on the board. My overall goal is to make it easier to see what effects are on what enemies for a more smooth battle experience for my players.  For example, it would be nice if I could mouseover a token and have text read something like "Sleeping" or "Weakened" or "Prone."  It would be nice to be able to do this either through a text area that could be edited or, as mentioned, the ability to set the different token markers to display different words once they're selected and put on the token.  Maybe set the half-heart marker to "wounded" or the sleeping face marker to "sleeping" and have those words appear when you mouseover the token.  My main reason for wanting this is that sometimes you can forget what token means what, especially when you have conditions on the enemy/character that haven't been used much or it's been a week since you played and don't remember what all the token markings mean.
I'm all for mouseover text on tokens. I do want to point out, though, that as a Pro subscriber, you have access to the Combat Master script, which lets you assign markers to specific conditions and easily show all conditions affecting a given token.
I certainly use those markers, which are ok to an extent.  But I'd rather have the text so I know exactly what goes on. Or, as I said, I'd like to be able to set certain conditions to the markers that would pop-up when I mouse over the pog.
