Scanner for new yearly low

Good evening! I am new to using Thinkscript, and have not been able to figure out how to write a code for a scanner I want to use. I am wanting to scan for a yearly LOW that is breaking below a specific level for the first time. I.E stock XYZ is breaking below $5 for the first time ever. Is that something I can even do?
