Can you dynamically link an options chain chart to a main chart?

I'm currently testing a new strategy based on some indicators I'm looking into, and part of my strategy involves being able to look at options premiums charts for the related equity. Is there any way for me to be able to link a chart for the nearest expiration and input ____ strikes away dynamically? For example, if I want to look at SPX (weeklies):

On 8/24/22 for the 0dte expiration, is there a way for me, based on the current price of SPX at the time, to dynamically view the call or puts options premium chart 3-4 strikes out of the money? Or is this something that simply can't be automated? Any clarity on this would be greatly appreciated.

No sorry, the ToS app does not provide for that automation.

Thanks for the clarification! I figured as much through my own research, but I figured if anyone would know it would be this community. I'll stick to manually navigating these then.
Create a scan that only picks up SPX weeklies then create a watchlist that auto updates. The scan should only pick up strikes like 2-3% otm max so you aint bogged down with irrelevant noise. Then open your watchlist and link to one of your charts. Sort by volume, IV, premium, whatever then just click the first option on the list and you can quickly change the chart by tapping the up down key (watchlist must still be active, you cant click on the chart and keep scrollling thru them i think, youll have to click on the watch list again.)

But if you make a column in the watchlist with a few chart links on it you can quickly load up your other open charts. Hope that helps.

This is actually a great idea -- I'll look into this over the weekend, that might honestly work better than what I originally had in mind. Thanks!
