A question that often comes up (and there is a suggestion for it), is "How can I make a token that I can place on a map that is linked to a handout?" Although such functionality is not yet possible, you can get very close, requiring only one extra step in execution, and a bit of up-front work.

You can use the MapLock API to lock down movement of individual Map Pins, which would enable giving players full permissions to the map pins, without them (or the GM) accidentally moving them.
