I'm working on a spell equivalent to Summon Lesser Demons except for summoning yugoloths. Which leads me to needing to reference a homebrew CR 1 yugoloth.
Since I can't add tooltips to a spell that reference homebrew content, there a way for me to use the homebrew system to add a stat card for my monster directly to the spell, in a manner similar to how the new UA summoning spells are displayed?
You could try writing the stat block in a blockquote, it should work well. You can also try copy and pasting that part of the UA your referencing and then modify it.
I ended up just opening up one of the new UA summoning spells, clicking the source code button, and then copy pasting all of the html for the stat block into my spell, and editing the stats to match my monster.
One spell, one browser tab, all the relevant info.

You can’t put in tooltips, but you can imbed a hyperlink.

D&D Beyond FoundersYeah, unfortunately it's not a great solution, but it's how I built those new UA spells!
