That can be quite difficult or very easy depending on what information you are given

Sometimes it is just language syntax and you can make triggers but if you have that information in a mixed paragraph you get a messy read filled with dropped items and players. I have wanted the players names but think the only way is to trigger on the line color and parse titles against a who list. Although that was not your question, in a way it shows that there may not be an easy answer

Adding information with #CAPTURE or STWIN is in the help files. Those work easily but have a lot of versility if you get into them.
