Result output question for Macros (GM>Player)

First off, I want to say I and my GM's do not have access to API as we are not Pro members, so what I am asking for may be a bit tricky. It seems to me a lot of content is locked behind the API wall and scripts, but that's not the conversation I want to have. With that out of the way; I have a small dilemma. I am currently working on a table/macro that I want to provide to a GM in a game I am in. I have a table that has results listed in it for random events. When a specific occurrence in game triggers the random event, I want to roll a macro that reads the table and I get the results. Right now, I have the macro to roll specifically to the GM in a GM whisper. However, is there a way to trigger this event with a result box or something, so that the GM can just automatically share the results with the game. I'll give an example. As the GM, the game play requires the random occurrence. I roll a macro that will roll in the table and spits out the results in a GM whisper, so that I as the GM can see it. What I would like is this; I trigger the macro, it shares with me the result. If its a result that I can immediately share with the game I can do so. Obviously I could just read out loud the result, but I would prefer to do it this way so there is a visual clue.
It is only possible with API access, specifically Recursive Tables API.  Sorry bud.

You might be able to build the table as a macro, especially if its not too complex, using the trick that lets you roll and show one result in a template. I cant remember the syntax, so if anyone knows what I'm talking about, please post it here. Another approach is to break into two steps, first whisper yourself the roll, which also tells you which row of the table to use, then call up a query and enter a number, and that pronts out what would be that table result, complete with any dice rolls being rolled.

It would probably do the trick here, but does require the Roll20 5e sheet.
