I'm able to connect homebrew monsters with specific spells I want using the {[spell]} tag as a tooltip as stated here: https://www.dndbeyond.com/forums/d-d-beyond-general/general-discussion/11983-how-to-add-tooltips However, I'm having trouble attempting to have a homebrew monster (mage type) to a homebrew spell. Is there a specific tag to call homebrew items from my creation list?
I've tried using the custom name I gave to the homebrew spell using the regular {[spell]} tag which obviously shouldn't work based on the complexity of having several homebrew content creators on the site. So I also tried using the unique identifier number in the URL that comes after /spells in the url. (https://www.dndbeyond.com/spells/######-name of homebrew spell) still no dice.
If anyone can help me out it'd be much appreciated.
Why can't we do like that ? It would be so lit if we could do so as my entire homebrew monster manifesto is a female warlock lich who has experimented and created powerful spells by herself [just like tasha].

It is not currently possible to tooltip any homebrews.

It is possible to force a tooltip for homebrew spells, but it isn't officially supported and has some caveats.

I gave a full walkthrough on how to make the false tooltips in the FAQ I linked earlier:
That FAQ is really very comprehensive for most of anybody’s homebrew needs. You should check it out.

Okay, new post because this method should work FOR NOW and it gives me a clean comment to link to
!! NOTE THIS IS NOT OFFICIALLY SUPPORTED FUNCTIONALITY AND MAY BREAK IN THE FUTURE !!
If it does break, mods and staff WILL NOT help you fix it.
Also, you cannot publish homebrew that has tooltips using this method.
In this example we will be using my published homebrew spell Cleansing Orb, and it will generate this link / tooltip: Cleansing Orb
You will need the URL of your spell
This is the link: https://www.dndbeyond.com/spells/215436-cleansing-orb
You will be using the Source Code functionality to manually insert the link + tooltip into the content
I like to put the text into notepad or similar and then just copy / paste into where it needs to go. The text is as follows.
class="spell-tooltip tooltip-hover" sets the formatting. Valid options are:
href="https://www.dndbeyond.com/spells/215436-cleansing-orb" sets where to go when someone clicks on the link, so replace the part within the " " with your page URL
data-tooltip-href="https://www.dndbeyond.com/spells/215436-tooltip?disable-webm=1"> sets what to display for the tooltip text. This is your page URL up to and including the ID number
Cleansing Orb</a> sets the text that your link is displayed as, replace this with your spell or monster name
This will also work with monsters and magic items, like below:

Or you could basically recreate a portion of the walkthrough I already created and repost it here. 🙄
