Hmm. I'm not sure how valuable that will be...

The regulator, if I'm correct, is supposed to maintain constant
pressure >after< the tank. If you splice into the lines that are under
the sink you are connecting after the regulator, so the gauge should
always read the pressure that the regulator is set for...up to the
point there isn't any propane left in the tank anymore...

To have a reliable gauge reading

, you'd need to put in a Tee BEFORE the regulator (and bring up a new
propane line from that Tee up to your gauge. And that would essentially
be an unregulated propane line in your "living" quarters. That would
seem to be a bit unsafe to me (not sure what the rules on that would
be.)
