Interactive Map Locations

So, I'm setting up a map for my players with tokens as Locations that they can click on and recieve a chat description of the location and a link to the handout. I followed the steps in this Youttube Tut.&nbsp; <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v4Gp9CzJ_Aw" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v4Gp9CzJ_Aw</a> Everything is linked and working fine but the only issue I have is, I want the macro to /w to the player who clicks on the location macro. I don't want four players clicking locations and spamming the chat over and over. I tired to add a /talktomyself before the macro but it doesn't seem to work, any ideas? Is there way to make this macro /w to yourself?
hello, i use the API&nbsp; !me wich whisper only to the player who click.&nbsp; So there is no spam in the chat. Hope it 'll help
Ive been messing about with a MAPinfo rollable token too. im using the chat screen and @{selected|token_name} to recall the location, my first guess is to swap that to @{target|token_name} so you can use /w @{selected|token_name} to whisper to your character... My macro is just sending to chat &amp;{template:default}{{name=[x](@{selected|bar3})&nbsp; @{selected|token_name} @{selected|bar1} }} [DETAILS](`/desc @{selected|bar2}) [PLACES](`/desc @{selected|bar1|max}) [DEFENCES](`/desc @{selected|bar2|max}) [investigate](<a href="http://journal.roll20.net/handout/-MvfPAPCzHaIjjzmsXX3" rel="nofollow">http://journal.roll20.net/handout/-MvfPAPCzHaIjjzmsXX3</a>) [Handout](@{selected|bar3|max}) [Wiki info](<a href="https://forgottenrealms.fandom.com/wiki/@{selected|token_name}" rel="nofollow">https://forgottenrealms.fandom.com/wiki/@{selected|token_name}</a>) INVESTIGATE -links to [investigate] handout with clickable rollable `[1t[[table]]] encounter options and the wiki info link needs no spaces so either iron_keep or "iron keep" or it will search for just 'iron'

I think this might work but I'm not entirely sure where to change my macro. I will post the macro I am using. Take a look and post the new macro if you can. &amp;{template:default} {{name=@{selected|token_name}}} {{[image](@{selected|bar1})}} {{@{selected|bar2}}} {{[(Learn More)](@{selected|bar3})}}
