There are a few options.

First, you can setup a specific trading action for the DOM to be a "Trailing Stop". So you can define whether a right or left click in the Buy or Sell column above or below the price defines that order. Refer to the following:
Global Trade Settings Windows: Order Types (Global Settings >> Chart DOM Settings)

Second, you can create a Keyboard Shortcut that defined as either a Buy Trailing Stop, Buy Trailing Stop Limit, Sell Trailing Stop, or Sell Trailing Stop Limit and define the offset you want from a particular bar reference (i.e. offset from Open, High, Low, or Close/Last).

Third, you can reference the above Keyboard Shortcut as a Control Bar button to do the same thing with a button instead of keyboard shortcut.

Fourth, you can create a custom study to place the order as you want it based on some input you define. Refer to the following for this:
