Cron triggered text display: how to add ability to edit macro

I used cron triggered text display in a window on a daily basis instead of the usual apple reminders.
Usually, I only display the macro name (%ExecutingInstanceName%%), but I also often add more information in the display window.
In addition to reading the message in the text window, I often re-edit the macro to add /delete information in the macro name or within the text window.
For the moment, I do this manually, and would prefer to simply insert it in the form of a variable using the UUID of the currently selected macro.
My attempt at a solution failed.

thanks in advance for your time and help

You're using a variable you haven't set. Try using a token instead:

keyboardmaestro://m=%ExecutingMacroUUID%

Unfortunately, it does not work. For example, as shown below, the macro converts the token to a UUID, but when I run the macro, it is the currently selected macro which is edited, not the macro that generated the display text.

thank you for your post

Then I misunderstood.

Are you saying you want to open the above macro in the Editor and insert a link to a macro selected in another window? Or is this macro being called by an "Execute a Macro" action in other macro and that's the one you want to link to?
