[FEAT] Labels for numerical columned to the left or right of tokens, with editable numbers and possibly Icons. #1127

We already have bars for tokens to the top or bottom of them, which is great, but it would also be nice to have labels display some trackers in columns to the left or right of the token, with their tiny icons to match if possible. This will allow the players and the GM to set custom variables unto tokens, like Bleeding damage, buff counters, burn damage, buff stacks, and other things that don't fit into bars.

The Alternative could be bubbles that pop out when you click on a token, with tiny labels and numbers on them, but I suspect that is harder to implement.

I think what you are describing is a free form effects icons, akin to the defeated status, which can be toggled as needed by the player or GM.

Sounds doable, but could get complicated fast depending on how you want to represent the effects. I know on other systems I have seen little effect icons showing the status of such tokens, but they always seem to be for specific effects and tied to one particular gaming system.

@Kruptein

Maybe one way to achieve this would be to have a drop-down list of applied effects, instead of the radio buttons. It can be edited and added to for custom effects, then when you hover over a token those current effects can be displayed in a similar way that annotations are?

Just a thought.
