Pre-set a token for cards

Good day, When making cards, one of the options is to have it spawn on the map as a token instead of a drawing. Is there a way to pre set what token it is linked to before it appears? The goal is to not have to manually attach token cards to a character sheet every time they are put on the field. As an example, say I want to use the card system to "draw" monsters. I have an orc, a goblin, and a bandit. When I put them on the field, I want the orc to already be linked to the orc character sheet, the goblin to the goblin sheet, and so on, all having been drawn from the same deck. Thank you very much for any assistance.

I do not believe that the Deck can store items as tokens with bound sheets. It seems that everything except the "card" (aka monster) details is lost once the card is returned to the deck. As I recall, the card is not actually "returned," rather that card is deleted and then a card created in the deck with the base details input originally for that card; therefore all that remains are the details that were put into the card in the deck in the first place (ie the picture for the card front, the name of the card, and whether it should be treated as a token or a drawing). The only difference the token/drawing thing does is decide whether or not the bubbles appear. (Interestingly enough, unlike other drawings, you can still bind a sheet and put bars on cards labeled as "drawings," but if you do this, the bubbles will still not appear.) Sadly, this means you would have to manually attach journal entries to the token each time you put it out there. This could actually be an interesting thing to suggest , though. tl;dr: nope, sorry.
I see. Well, that's about what I figured, based upon what I could see. Thank you very much for the confirmation.

That could be a cool suggestion for the Suggestions forum, though...I can see how that might be useful for a deck...
