Can't be done yet. Counters can only send KeyCommands to other counters. I can 
see the need for a trait that send a keyCommand to the top-level hotKey manager 
to be able to open/close windows etc.

You could reserve a Die Rolling area on the map and do it there?

This is going to be tricky, even with a 'Execute X times' option on Trigger 
option, with X being an optional marker value. 

I think you could possibly set this up now with cascading Trigger Actions, 
Place Markers, Move fixed distance and Global Key Commands, all set up in 
prototypes. You would need a different prototype for each number of attack 
dice. Instead of setting the ATTACKDICE marker, you add the appropriate 
prototype (ATTACK1, ATTACK2 etc.)

This we can do now!

Setup 'Roll Attack Dice' counter on the map, right-click and select the number 
to roll.
