Can I supress the animated 3d die roll from inside a macro?

I have a macro I use to randomly select a reaction GIF from a collection of similar ones that I send to chat.&nbsp; I've figured out how to get a dice roll to append into the URL and correctly select the image I want at random (which was a bit&nbsp; obscure), but I haven't been able to find a way to suppress the animated graphic of the die roll.&nbsp; Because it isn't a normal gameplay die roll, its distracting to have it roll on the map for people.&nbsp; I know I can suppress showing the die rolls all the time by changing the settings, but I only want to hide the die roll for just this one internal macro.&nbsp; Is there a way to do this? For reference the code looks like this:&nbsp; [[](<a href="https://www.mydomain.com/images/celebrate[[1d4]]#.gif" rel="nofollow">https://www.mydomain.com/images/celebrate[[1d4]]#.gif</a>) It works as intended, to pick a file named celebrate1.gif or celebrate2.gif, etc but I don't like showing the d4 rolling on everyone's tabletop.&nbsp; The weird extra "[" is the magic sauce that lets the die roll embedded into the URL, without that it fails.
I have found a pseudo-workaround, which is to choose a type of die that does not have a predefined shape.&nbsp; If, for instance, I change the macro above to include rolling [[1d5]] it works because the software has no idea how to animate a 5 sided die, although it is perfectly content to generate a random number of any arbitrary range. I'd still love to know if there is a "proper" way to do this
