It's possible to write your own macros for use in your stories. Doing so will require knowledge of both JavaScript and the Twine engine.
Here's an example passage that creates a macro named «hello»
that, when invoked in another passage, displays an alert that greets the reader.
:: Hello macro [script] macros['hello'] = { handler: function() { alert('Hi, reader!'); } } :: Start <<hello>>
If you're curious how a built-in macro works, browsing the source code repository may be helpful, too.
