✨ FR - choose the dice rolled to get data from a table #299

I'd like to control the dice rolled from the calling site and not only from the declaration site.

Exemples

dice: 1d8+4 [](page.md^bookmark) would pull only in the last 8 items from a table of 12.
dice: 1d11 [](page.md^bookmark) dice: 1d11 [](page.md^bookmark) would allow the 12th element of a table to roll twice on the other elements.

For what it's worth, I was able to make this work by executing:

const roller = getRoller("[[Page^table]]");
await roller.getResult(); // to make sure lookupTable is created
roller.lookupRoller = getRoller("1d21 + 5")

lookupRoller doesn't get created until the first call to getResult, but after that it can be overridden.
