Monster Actions & traits Token Actions for 5e-2024

Keith Curtis' recent video showing how to use a bunch of great scripts like TokenMod, GroupCheck and Bump was super helpful. I had no idea you could get these to work with the new 2024 sheets if you switched to the Experimental Mod Library. More importantly, how could anyone know that without that video? So with that in mind I have a 2-fold question.  Is there a way to create Token Actions for the 2024 monsters? I previously had NPC Sheet templates with Token Actions for the various actions, bonus actions, reactions and traits as well as a few less important things. for instance the token action script was simply this: %{selected|repeating_npcaction_$1_npc_action} I could drag a monster stat block onto a copy of one of these sheets, change the name of the action sand traits and bam, I had a useable monster sheet with token action buttons for easy at the table.  These old macros don't seem to work on the new sheet, and I'm wondering if there is already such macros available that I just can't find.  My follow-up question is if that's not yet available, how do I know the second it is available rather than hoping I find it in a random video months later.  I have already scoured these posts as best I can and have found nothing.

Hi Carnie DM,  IIRC, Token Action Maker is not yet updated for the 2024 sheet. There is a lot for the Devs to do to get the two to play nice together.

Hi Carnie DM! At this point in time, token actions like those on the 2014 sheet, which call abilities on the sheet, are impossible. Even if they were, that part of the sheet would also need to be deliberately exposed to the API. Most scripts work fine, regardless of sheet, or Jumpgate/classic. The scripts that deal with character sheet values, reading or changing, are the ones that are currently problematic or non-functional when interacting with the D&D 5e (2024) Sheet. It has an entirely new architecture. The devs have said they are committed to eventually adding those things, but I have no idea about how far down the line that is.
Thanks guys. I really hope the devs shout it from the rooftops the moment we have this capability. Keith, that video was very well done and much appreciated. 
Could you link this video please
Hey David. It was part of the Roll20 Masterclass. Hopefully this link works:&nbsp; <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O6JJuVOe8eI" rel="nofollow">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O6JJuVOe8eI</a>
