When i select to send an email to the individual related to an activity is there a way to include details from the activity in the email that i am sending?

I think the answer is "no" unless you write your own custom tokens for this.
The problem with the idea of "activity tokens" is that you have to somehow answer the question "which activity?". Some contacts might have hundreds of activities so generating tokens for all of these would be challenging.
Try asking your question on the new CiviCRM help site.

It would be a nice "action" to add when searching for activities. Find all activities then select from actions drop down to "email activity details" to user associated with the activity. Right now i am using a checksum link to a webform to send out the details that i want to include in the email.

It could be similar to the "Print or Email Payment Receipt" action.
