[Help] Hide "Player" and access playername

1) Is there a way to access the players name? Like @{playername{ such that I can pass it to a rolltemplate and style it. 2) Is it possible to hide the playername with a chatcommand that is available for players as /desc is what I would need but that doesnt work for players.
As for pulling the name of whoever the character is currently assign to...I have no idea.  But, here is what I do know how to do: If the character sheet has a field with the player's name (and its filled in) you can pull that data, but you will need that field's name to do it.  Normally, it will be called "player_name" so @{player_name} would work, but there is no guarantee.  The character sheet entries are, essentially, overly complicated ways to display the attributes listed on the Attributes & Abilities pane of the character journal.  If the character sheet doesn't have a player's name entry, you can put on in the Attributes area.  This will have to be done manually for each character.   They should be able to go the settings area (in the chat area of the Roll20 interface) and change their display name.  As a GM, I delete what's there and leave it blank.  The player's may be able to do the same.
1) I am aware of 1 but I was looking for a way to avoid that. 2) Not really an option for me.

PowerCards could emulate this like so: !power --bgcolor|transparent --orowbg|transparent --border|none --title| --titlefontsize|0px --bodyfont|"Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif --bodyfontsize|13.65px --orowtx|#404040 --!| I might save the above as a macro named "as" ( for ease of use ) and then make it visible to all players.
