Is it possible to insert script/dice roll/macro calls within a Rolltable Item?

Greetings everyone! So the question is in the title... To ask it another way : is it possible to have something else than strings of characters within a rolltable item? For example, a random encounter table? Item 1 - 2d4 Goblins Item 2 - 3d6 Kobolds ... and Roll20 will do the rolling? Thanks!

Unfortunately, this is only possible via the API (requires the game's creator to be a pro subscriber). Aaron has a script called recursive tables that allows this to happen.

Thanks! So if I understand correctly, if I want to implement some logical operators in "macros", create dynamic encounter tables and such other endevour, I need tu upgrade my subscription to Pro, because the "basic" macros and rolltables are simply not designed to do such things (for it is not their functions). Am I correct?

That's correct. There is some stretch that you can do with some stupid tricks (check the stupid tricks thread for details), but they aren't really feasible with doing rolls within rollable table results.
