Add Handout to Equipment list

D&D 5E 2014 classic character sheet, Jumpgate. Is there any way to add a handout to the character sheet's equipment list? If not, why not?

Hi Hultz! Currently, most sheet entries are text only, and don't parse things like links or inline roll expressions. They have to be sent to chat to make clickable links, or display bold/italic, etc. There are a couple of alternatives, though not as elegant as what you are looking for: 1) It could be added to the character's bio page by typing something like [Name of Handout] in the text. When saved, that will parse to a link. 2) As a workaround on 2014, you could also do this in order to generate the link code. You can right click on the link to copy the URL. It will probably look something like: <a href="http://journal.roll20.net/handout/-OMgw1dEgD0HNO7KnNVu" rel="nofollow">http://journal.roll20.net/handout/-OMgw1dEgD0HNO7KnNVu</a> You could put any number of these into a feature/trait item in this format: [Name of handout](<a href="http://journal.roll20.net/handout/-OMgw1dEgD0HNO7KnNVu" rel="nofollow">http://journal.roll20.net/handout/-OMgw1dEgD0HNO7KnNVu</a>) When sent to chat using the word ballon button for the trait, this will appear as a clickable link.
Thanks keithcurtis. I am just looking at how you can drag and drop an item from the compendium into the equipment list and wish I could do something similar with a handout. I have made a number of handouts with items such as potions that have a description but have not been identified. The identity of the item is in the gm notes, (I also have an image of the item in the handout). Wouldn't it be nice...&nbsp; Also I am using the URL trick to to do map pins. Well thanks again.

Here is a handy trick for assigning handouts. Again, not what you are looking for, but another tool. You can drag a handout over the player's user avatar, and it will automatically give them permission.
