Can you add a Description when rolling a Dex Save 5e

I was wondering if there was a way to add a description when rolling a Saving throw ex, if a barbarian has danger sense for that to display as text when a dex save is rolled. That way there isn't a chance me or the players forget about the advantage being there, there was a mistake on my part forgetting and so did the player in the heat of the moment. If there is a way to add this to the rolling macro that would be very Convenient

What I do is I make macros for my players, then add text to the end of the macro as a whisper to the GM.  Here is an example of the macro I use (courtesy of the Token Action Maker Mod script) @{wtype}&{template:simple} @{rtype}?{Saving Throw|Strength, +@{Strength_save_bonus}@{pbd_safe}[STR SAVE]]]}} {{rname=Strength Save}&#125 {{mod=@{Strength_save_bonus}}} {{r1=[[@{d20}+@{Strength_save_bonus}@{pbd_safe}[STR SAVE]]]|Dexterity, +@{Dexterity_save_bonus}@{pbd_safe}[DEX SAVE]]]}} {{rname=Dexterity Save}&#125 {{mod=@{Dexterity_save_bonus}}} {{r1=[[@{d20}+@{Dexterity_save_bonus}@{pbd_safe}[DEX SAVE]]]|Constitution, +@{Constitution_save_bonus}@{pbd_safe}[CON SAVE]]]}} {{rname=Constitution Save}&#125 {{mod=@{Constitution_save_bonus}}} {{r1=[[@{d20}+@{Constitution_save_bonus}@{pbd_safe}[CON SAVE]]]|Intelligence, +@{Intelligence_save_bonus}@{pbd_safe}[INT SAVE]]]}} {{rname=Intelligence Save}&#125 {{mod=@{Intelligence_save_bonus}}} {{r1=[[@{d20}+@{Intelligence_save_bonus}@{pbd_safe}[INT SAVE]]]|Wisdom, +@{Wisdom_save_bonus}@{pbd_safe}[WIS SAVE]]]}} {{rname=Wisdom Save}&#125 {{mod=@{Wisdom_save_bonus}}} {{r1=[[@{d20}+@{Wisdom_save_bonus}@{pbd_safe}[WIS SAVE]]]|Charisma, +@{Charisma_save_bonus}@{pbd_safe}[CHA SAVE]]]}} {{rname=Charisma Save}&#125 {{mod=@{Charisma_save_bonus}}} {{r1=[[@{d20}+@{Charisma_save_bonus}@{pbd_safe}[CHA SAVE]]]}}} {{global=@{global_save_mod}}} {{type=Save}} {{typec=Save}} @{charname_output} /w GM **Advantage vs Charmed** (Note: immune to sleep) You can see the whisper at the end of that (I ripped it from one of my player's sheets). Note: this is for the 5e by Roll20 character sheet. If you are doing a different character sheet it will have to be adjusted.

It would also be possible (at the Pro level) with the Mod script Customizable Roll Listener.
Thank you both I will work on this now and see what I can cook up
