How could it be possible to set up conditional orders so that if X (price, level, or alert) trades or activates, move stop to Y ticks below X?

Is it possible to make this study use a user configurable price level or drawing as the controlling reference?

Yes, just use the Horizontal Lines study to define the level you want and point the Trade Management by Study to the Horizontal Lines study and the particular subgraph that has the level you want. Refer to the following for the Horizontal Lines study:

Is it possible to use the chart to select the price level to set up the horizontal lines study alert?

And then use a control bar button or the chart to send a trailing stop if price tests the level?

There is not a way to do what you are asking with the built-in tools. You would need to create a custom study to do this. Refer to the following:
