Can I Create My Own "Drag and Drop" Things?

Currently, if I have a character sheet I can search for something and and drag and drop it into my sheet. For example, I can quickly add a longsword to my sheet by searching "longsword" under the info tab and then dragging it in. However, let's say I want to create my own weapon that I can drag and drop into multiple character sheets. Is there any way to do this? The closest I could find was this post: <a href="https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/7199579/moving-attacks-from-one-sheet-to-another#newtopic" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/7199579/moving-attacks-from-one-sheet-to-another#newtopic</a> . Essentially this described making a button that you can press when a token is selected that runs the equivalent weapon code. Essentially nothing would be added to any character sheet but you could use the weapon with any selected character's attributes. While this allows you to run the new weapon off of multiple sheets, it isn't actually put the weapon on any sheets. This is really what I need and I'm sad that all I can find is this weird work around that doesn't accomplish exactly what I want. So is there any way to make a drag and drop thing? Is there another way I can accomplish this same goal (making something once and adding it to multiple sheets)? Thank you so much!!

I don't believe so. The drag and drop you're describing is based on using a Compendium, and the sheet being written to take advantage of it. But a Compendium cannot be edited by users - you cant add your own items to an existing Compendium nor create your own custom Compendium.

The Compendium is a complex beast with many interdependencies. As written, it would be very difficult for an end user to add to without training, even if such a thing were available.

Haha! I suspect Roll20 doesn't want the customer service overhead that would ensue, but yeah, I want it, too.
