Getting Data from a different sheet without using the API

I'm asking cause I'm not sure if it's possible. The idea: I want to be able to create something all the roll20 users can use (no API, embedded in the character sheet). The idea is making something similar to the Agent matrix in the gumshoe games. I want to create a Master GM sheet where you put the name of all the PC playing (maybe from a dropdown list), and the sheet gives you all their skill rating. For example let say I have 4 players, I'm interested in knowing what Alertness each one of the have (A:30,B:60,C:40,D:50), so I want to have a list with the information for A,B,C,D.  Is it possible without using the API? Or better, can I access the attribute of one sheet from another something like A.attr_alertness, B.attr_alertness using the character sheet alone? If not, did someone already do something similar?

Or better, can I access the attribute of one sheet from another something like A.attr_alertness, B.attr_alertness using the character sheet alone? Impossible without API, and pretty tricky with it. Don't know any working example of this, but I'm under the impression this is not impossible... Someone like Aaron, or Scott might be able to figure something out.

Mmmh... thanks for the fast response... I suspected it wasn't possible, but I was still hoping :)
