Secret Rolls Macros that Draw from the 5e Character Sheet

Edited 1446165625
I am coming back to the DM side of R20 after a break and can't seem to find the macro guides I loved. I am using the Shaped 5e Character Sheet. What I would like to do (if possible) is have a macro for each skill, select a token, have the macro reference that character's sheet for that skill, and have the roll sent only to me as a /gmroll. Is this possible? Do I need to make a macro for each character? Is there a macro code I can use to have it reference the sheet? Looks like /gmroll %{name|macro} Doesn't work.

/w gm %{name|macro} would work; /gmroll really only should precede a roll formula . The D&D 5e Shaped Character Sheet automatically provides a macro for all saving throws and another for all ability/skill checks via drop down Roll Query. However, those macros are tied to individual Characters, so you wouldn't be able to select a token and output the macro in one single step, unless you manually typed %{PlayerWithLongComplexName|check_query_macro} every time. Instead, I might recommend modifying a version of the %{check_query_macro} . Essentially, replace @{output_option} at the start of the macro with /w gm and then find @{ and replace it with @{selected| throughout the macro. Save the modified macro as an Ability, and it should work on any token linked to a Character.
This works well. Thank you. I would like to see the players have power over these secret rolls but not see them (Like Fantasy Ground's tower rolls).
I use: ?{GM Only?|Yes,/w gm|No} %{selected|save_query_macro} and: ?{GM Only?|Yes,/w gm|No} %{selected|check_query_macro}
