Looking how to make a token that calls to a master sheet of sorts

Hi before anything else the game i gm is a group game and we share one table. That one table does have pro if we need APIs we can get them. A few of my players have consistent need to keep track of a number of resources! Is there a way to have 1 master sheet and a bunch of baby sheet which call on the master sheet for resources? This is so that the baby's sheet token as a bunch of bars on them. Without making the same sheet four times over! These resources change very often as the game goes on.
You could use 1 character sheet, use the abilities tab on the sheet to create custom attributes for the resources then give each of the player a single token, link it to that sheet and link any of 3 bubbles to that sheet. If you want to use the api, you can do the same thing only use chatsetattr to modify and replenish those resources. Note the tokens only allow 3 bars/bubbles so its not an ideal solution. 
sadly the party needs like 4-9 bars in total to keep track of.

You can do that, but it will require more character sheets that are just token holders.  Let's say you have a sheet called Group Resources with the 9 attributes you need to track. Set up a token that represents Group Resources with the 3 bars linked to the most common attributes/resources (or whatever) and save that as the default token on Group Resources. Then you will set up another Token that represents Group Resources with 3 other attributes linked to the bars.  You can't set it as the default token for Group Resources, but you can create another sheet to save the token settings and enable you to drag it out on any map.  So maybe you create a sheet called GR 2 and save that token as the default there. Then you go through the same setup on the 3rd token and create a GR 3 sheet to use to save the default token. You might want to use the attributes/resources in the order they appear on the bars as the token name, otherwise I could definitely see people making mistakes often on which bar is which.

You could also track in the chat window. If all you need is reporting, you could set up a  Chat Menu  to give a list of the current (and/or) maximum value of the resources, and that wouldn't even require the API. With ChatSetAttr (and maybe a value query), you could set up buttons on the menu to increase or decrease by an arbitrary amount and update.
