I would just like to say that /emas may currently be intended to be used as above, but its potential is greater than that.
I have entire pages of tokens in my game that I name and group by association so I can just click on the one i'm supposed to be talking/emoting as at the time and use /emas @{selected|token_name} and /say @{selected|token_name}.
being able to use this feature as a player would be tremendous - I have players that would have entire conversations with themselves between their characters and incidental NPC's, just for fun.
