Launch a macro from a right click menu on the token

Tittle says it all, I would like macros assigned to the tokens from the character sheet to to be able to be launched from a right click menu on the token.  Right now the macro bar on the bottom get really hard to use after you have added 10 or so macros.

Reorganizing the macro interface is being considered. One reason it is currently set up the way it is is to minimize the visual real estate being used up. - Gauss
We're discussing several options on screen "real estate" in regards to macros.  Not sure when we'll be making a change, but it is something we'll be seeking input on in the future.
Great idea, IMO. Looking forward to seeing what you amazing folks come up with :D
This would be awesome, along with associating tokens with character sheets as then I would not have to keep opening and closing monster/NPC sheets in combat to use their macros (and before you say put them in your macro bar if you have like 3 different types of enemies running with multiple attacks it's not easy to have all their options in the macro bar.)
The best option, IMO, would be to have a window/bar that pops up only when you select a token and it only shows macros on that token.

@JTB what about a bar with little portraits of characters or names and when clicked brings up a sub menu/bar with the abilities for that character. This would prevent you from being forced to use a token and you could have it so when you select a linked token it opens the correct character for you. But it also might be nice to have folders in addition to this, just for better organisation.
That would work too.
Alex L. That isn't necessarily the best as a GM, I have a list of all my possible random encounter monsters as well as my story monsters in a list in the journal, a bar like that would almost be redundant as it would essentially be the same thing as the journal, just go directly the macros. Now with JohnathanTheBlack's option... then it becomes another selectable option when selecting an icon you control (if it is linked to a character sheet.)
I think I would like it best off the token since that is where all the action happens, but anything that would help manage macros and abilities would be much appreciated.
