API Functionality to spawn a window with interactive elements.

This is more of a meta-request. I would like to be able to do user interaction in other ways than with the chat system. As a specific example I would like to have the functionality to make a window appear on all the players' screens with a list of items, which they can then take away from that list, with it updating live on the other players' screens. (Ajax maybe?) I realise that there are many parts to this request, and as such you may want to subdivide it in parts.

Sounds very very cool. I think I'm going to need to free up one of my votes...

Indeed. I wish I had more votes for spending on just API things.. =D

Oh man....  6 years ago this was a request? I get the need to keep some kind of popup hell from polluting roll20 scripts - but this seems like a super-easy thing to implement as far as the api goes.  Is this still not available? Having the one chat box for text output is incredibly limiting.

I mean, you can't trigger the popup, but you can pretty much do this by making an interactive handout via api commands.

I've been thinking about this quite a bit with the following features: Powercards / Scriptcards and Roll Query  friendly.   Just indicate where you want your output to go in the script, ChatWindow or Dialog([Window_Name]).  HTML Friendly for display of information and referenced images. At least 2 styles 1.) Information Display (Read Only).  2) Information Update/Add or one that would except input (Text box, check boxes, ...) Option to size the dialog on creation in pixels or percentage of screen Option to name the dialog for future reference Option to select the buttons (OK; Cancel), (OK Only), (Next; Cancel) and others.  Some buttons would have default actions and others could kick off other macros or player sheet abilities.
