How can I select/target a token as a player?

As a player, how do I select or target a token?

I tried looking through the wiki but there doesn't seem to be any information on how this is done.

in the token options you have to choose "all players" in the "controlled by" drop down menu. 

You can us @{target|[target name]|[attribute]} in a macro, even if you don't control the token.  For example, if you wanted to emote an attack using the token's name, you could use:

/me attacks @{target|Target 1|token_name} and rolls a [[1d20]]!

You can find this on the wiki here.

Whenever you run a macro that uses @{selected|...}, it will use the macro you have currently selected. A token is selected if you click on it and there's a box around it indicating you can move or resize it. If you don't have any token selected, the macro will fail.

Whenever you run a macro that uses "@{target|...}, the UI will ask you to click on the token. That token will be used in that part of the macro, even if you don't have permission to control it.
