OGL sheet: Trigger skill check through an ability (in tab Attribute & Abilities)

From an OGL sheet ability, in tab Attribute & Abilities, how can a skill check be triggered/called/activated? By that I mean that the system would behave exactly as one would--click--a skill in the SKILLS section of the sub-tab CORE, of the tab Character Sheet. I know how to make an ability that would contain the same content that was produced by actually clicking and activating the ability with the result copy would have the same result; I just want to ensure the skill check result is up-to-date and me doing such verification would be quite sporadic. Thank you kindly for helping me with what was described in the 1st paragraph
The % sign is used to call a button so %{selected|NAMEOFBUTTON} would roll just like hitting the button. One way to find the button name is to drag the button to the macro bar at the bottom.
You can find more information on ability calls  here .
Sorry for the delay, I thought I'd play that PC on Roll20 within a couple weeks thinking I'd get to it then.

In case someone else use this thread to solve a similar problem, after clicking the button resulting from this, go in the chat entry box and press the up arrow to get what you need (%{selected|NAMEOFBUTTON}).
