greetings, I found myself in the following situation:
I have a monk, with multiple gif ideas for the unarmed attacks, so is there some macro which I can use in the description of the weapon attacks.

My bad, let me try it again.
On the 'attacks and spellcasting' session, in the attacks and such, I put this [gif](gif addres) to display the gif in the description of the attack to display the gif.
now, I want to have more choices so I create copies of the same attack using different gifs for each one. now I am wondering if I there is a macro of sorts which, I could do put varios different gifs for just one attack, instead of having to make varios copies; a macro that would allow to select which gif to use.
is it better?
You might be able to do this with a query although that may not work.
But you should definitely be able to do a chat button setup. Have multiple buttons each leading to a different macro. Each macro has the same attack but with each one has a different gif in the attack.
Macroname: Attack Macro
/w @{selected|character_name} &{template:npcaction}{{rname=@{selected|character_name}}}{{name=@{selected|npc_type}}}{{description=**Select Attack**
[Attack 1](~selected|Attack-1)
[Attack 2](~selected|Attack-2)
Attack 1 macro:
Macro name: Attack-1
https://media.giphy.com/media/R9s3hwgbVR1CEoCJaJ/giphy.gif
%{selected|repeating_attack_$0_attack}
Attack 2 macro:
Macro name: Attack-2

%{selected|repeating_attack_$1_attack}
Note: this assumes you are using the 5e by Roll20 character sheet.
You can replace the $0, $1, etc. with the number of the attack in the sheet. Just increment up the # until you find the attack you want.
If you are not the 5e by Roll20 sheet, then you can replace the repeating field with the macro of the character sheet you are using.
You can replace "selected" with your character name if desired.
