You could also create a topic for a specific encounter and put all the stat blocks within it.

Thanks for the all the info! It seems helpful and I'll take a look.
When I tried HeroLab, I found it to be great for quickly loading an encounter and doing things like initiative. But modifying health and status effects just had a few too many button clicks per action. I am used to either doing it by hand, or using
http://improved-initiative.com, which, while having it's own problems, has the benefit of being free and allowing for extremely quick changes to health and stuff. You simply click the current health for the creature from the overview, type a number, and hit enter. Hero Lab requires you to bring up an extra screen in between.
TBH, I'm not sure if that's a Hero Lab thing or just the implementation of 5e in it though. Could be either. I didn't try playing with it for other systems.
