Using Macros and the Current STARFINDER sheet, and looking for advice.

Edited 1515732393
I wrote a couple Macros and I am looking for a specific tie-in to the STARFINDER sheet. I have a ship sheet Name= "Exeter" and a Seperate character sheet for each position, Pilot, Engineer, ect... My macro for ship actions are in the ship sheet and right now I have added attributes like @{CaptainsEngingeering} to the ship sheet. The Ship sheet has a native attribute of @{starship-crew-capt} for the Captains name, I was wondering if there is a way to nest Queries. So one Ship macro can work for all characters. I know the selected, targeted, and direct calls could work but I'm looking for a way to keep ship macros on the ship sheet then have the ship sheet macro query using the "starship-crew" as a marker to  Example... Sheet 1 @{Exeter|starship-crew-capt} = Bob Jones @{Exeter|starship-name} = Exeter Sheet 2 @{Bob Jones|character_name} = Bob Jones @{Bob Jones|Engineering} = 7 Sheet 3 @{Jane Jones|character_name} = Bob Jones @{Jane Jones|Engineering} = 8 ect... Dice call the way I want it: (Ideal Dice with Query reference) [[1d20 +@{@{Exeter|starship-crew-capt}|Engineering} +@{Exeter|starship-computer-bonus}]] Dice the way currently have the macro working: (Not Ideal because then every time the players change rolls, I need to change (about 40) macro attribute qeries upon ship roll changes) [[1d20 +@{Bob Jones|Engineering} +@{Exeter|starship-computer-bonus}]]  ...(Macro Changes need every roll change)     or [[1d20 +@{Exeter|CaptainsEngingeering}+@{Exeter|starship-computer-bonus}]]  ...(Added Attribute, and changing Attributes, on both Character and Ship) My Macro's are much more complicated then this, but this is the part stumping me. When I want to let the Characters update their own sheet. So I have to keep it simple, so they just need to change attributes starship-crew-capt on the ship sheet and their own character sheet. I don't want them monkeying with the macros if they change ship positions. I could post the whole set of ship macros but I think the above examples cover my question. So I am Going to wait on the that.
Rand K. said: Dice call the way I want it: (Ideal Dice with Query reference) [[1d20 +@{@{Exeter|starship-crew-capt}|Engineering} +@{Exeter|starship-computer-bonus}]] This can be made to work; check out this post for details. (In this case, the "prefix" Attribute would just have a Current value of "@{".)
