That is what the A6902 is.  The probe plugs into one side and the oscilloscope plugs into the other.

Okay yes, sorry for being so noob:-)
Do you think it is realistic for me to try to build it?

Do look interesting, again, thinking of I can manage to build anything like that?

Break it down into parts and start with the simple stuff.  We have the full description and schematic of the A6902.

Could you design and build a high impedance amplifier which accepts a probe signal?  That is the first stage.  If not, then no although I can think of old oscilloscopes which could provide this part inexpensively.  It just gets more complicated after this.
