Tools proficiency and expertise in 5E shaped sheet

My rogue is proficient with Poisoner's kit and has double proficiency (expertise) with Thieves' tools. I would like to make it possible to add that to the shaped character sheet somehow so that I can click on it and it will make the check with the correct roll e.g. clickable Poisoner's kit in the shaped sheet with associated proficiency. Is it possible?

While in edit mode, add the toolkit as a skill. You can choose the associated ability and level of expertise as normal.
Another way of doing it would be to add it to the Equipment section and at the end of the description do something like: Roll Result: [[ 1d20 + [Proficiency Bonus [@{pb}]] + [Dexterity mod[@{dexterity_mod}]] ]] So when you click it, the result of the roll gets pasted at the end in chat. Like this
Thanks a bunch Mads and Keith! I had no idea you could add new skills :)

If you want the best of both worlds, add it as a skill, as suggested. Add Thieves Tools to your inventory. Click the Skills macro button on the sheet to call up the chat-rollable list of skills. Click your Thieves Tools skill, and then press the up arrow while in the chat input box. You should see something like this, but your numbers will be different: %{-LMWLxxBibiv-JN8E1NK|repeating_skill_-ln6e9imv3bnvkaadts4_skill} Copy and paste this to a new line at the bottom of the Thieves Tools Equipment description field and make the following changes: [Roll](~ -LMWLxxBibiv-JN8E1NK|repeating_skill_-ln6e9imv3bnvkaadts4_skill ) Now, you can roll the skill as normal, or if you want to see the text for Thieves Tools, click the equipment and you will see this, with a button to click to make the roll. The roll will respect skill modifiers. Note: you won't see the "Lucky" Attacher, as above, that's an attacher already existing on the character I used as a demo.
Thanks Keith for the idea! At first I clicked on the the skill directly in the Sheet and that did not give me the macro id you talk about, but clicking on Skills on the sheet and then on Thieves' Tools in the chat skills list did the trick.
