How to bring in token from another page using API?

Does anyone know a method for bringing in a token with a known id from another page? I'd like to keep often-used, non-character tokens in another location and then summon them in with a pull-down menu when needed. These tokens contain their own macros, so merely dragging them from the image library won't work. Any suggestions are appreciated.

I don't know if this will do what you want since I haven't messed with it, but this script/thread came to mind from seeing your question.&nbsp; Might be worth a look. <a href="https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/9649899/script-spawn-default-token-thread-2/?pagenum=1" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/9649899/script-spawn-default-token-thread-2/?pagenum=1</a>

Spawn won't copy tokens from another page, but it will create an instance of the default token for a given character sheet. Note that some aspects of the token can't be replicated due to lack of exposure to the api, such as compact overlapping bar lines. EDIT - Character abilities (with token actions) will still be linked to the spawned tokens, though, so should still work for your application.

Something could be created for that.&nbsp; It wouldn't work for Marketplace Assets (the API can only create images in a User Library), and there is some question of where to put it on the new page.

I see. I think it would only work if it could include Marketplace Assets. Otherwise there's the inevitable confusion about why it fails in some circumstances, and the solution becomes more trouble than it's worth. Thanks!

Yeah.&nbsp; That could be partially mitigated by having a script that would copy the settings of another token with the same image, such that if you drag it from your art library, it finds where you have it already and copies the properties for it from there.&nbsp; That would actually be surprisingly easy. The traditional solution to this problem is probably to make characters to represent the commonly used tokens and just drag them out of the Journal.
