Keep Highest Display Separately

Is there a way of rolling a number of dice, keeping the highest 2 or 3 or something, and displaying the kept rolls without summing them? For example: 4d6 are rolled and the result is 3, 4, 6, 1. I would want what's printed in the chat to be  Is this possible? Thank you! Edit: image didn't come through at first. Should hopefully work now.

I have looked through there; I didn't see a way to prevent the dice from being summed. Could you point me to the section you mean, since I seem to have missed it?

I'd appreciate this being pointed out too, because I don't know of any way to do this without using custom roll parsing (which requires editing a character sheet) or using a Mod script. Conor, I don't think this possible at the Plus subscription level. You can have a roll result sorted, so the top 2 are always at the same side. e.g /roll 4d6sa /roll 4d6sd for ascending or descending sort. You will see a sum though, but can see at a glance the 2 dice you want.
/roll 4d6kh2 This should keep the highest 2 and gray every other roll out... and if you put those in [[ ]] [[4d6kh2]] Then it sums the 2 highest dies of your roll and when hovering over the result, it shows the highest 2 normal, others are greyed out... Section in the Link provided would be "Drop / Keep" GiGs said: I'd appreciate this being pointed out too, because I don't know of any way to do this without using custom roll parsing (which requires editing a character sheet) or using a Mod script.

That will sum them, and conor explicitly asked they not be summed.
Yeah, hovering over them to see the results won't quite work for what I have in mind. Okay, thank you both for the answers. Good to know.
