Make own drag&drop items/compendium entries

I would like to know whether there is a way to make a "note" or something which I can drag into a character sheet which supports drag&drop and have it work like it works with compendium entries. More precisely: I want to make own magic items/usables for the 5th Edition OGL sheet and it would be more easy when my players could simply "drag & drop" a handout into their inventory and it would automatically create an attack, item, add weight, etc. like it does for compendium stuff. Same with homebrew spells and monsters

There's been talk about eventually allowing custom Compendiums (like a year or more ago, back at the very start of the Compendium), but it's a ways away if it is ever going to happen unfortunately. As a work around, you could make a character that is controlled by all players and make your custom abilities/items in there. You should then be able to reference those via @{Items|Item_Name}, assuming you name the character Items. If you archive the character once you've got everything added to it, your players will still be able to reference it in their macros, but they won't be able to access it and spoil themselves about what you've got in store for them.
