Custom "inserts" of module snippets to a Rich Text field or other workaround?

[CP-BWG]

I'd like to be able to store module snippets for users to insert when editing a custom module with Rich Text.  It would be great if we could extnd this to other areas outside a custom module as well.  

In essence, we are trying to achieve a "shortcut" to insert the output of a module while in the page builder.  We can copy/paste the module's snippet into a Rich Text Editor field (RTEF), and the module renders fine.  But finding the module snippets is not easy, and has to be documented elsewhere currently. 

I realize modules cannot be Drag and Drop (DND) directly into another module, so this is the only workaround we have so far  - to paste that module's "snippet" into a RTEF

Currently we have to paste it in like this:

We'd like to be able to refer to inserting that module snippet in an easier way - perhaps the "insert" menu in a RTEF:

Any ideas how to add somethign to the "insert" capabilities in the editor?  Other ideas on how you insert module snippets other than keeping a library of them and pasting them in directly?

Hi @CP-BWG,

I'm also looking for this kind of feature to add modules inside modules to expand the default features.

If you have created a custom module, you can use a replace function withing the module.

 So your code example will look like this:

{{ module.text|replace('[city]', module.city_name_hubdb.columns.city_name) }}

See the screenshot for setting up the custom module:

 

Hope this will make life easier!
