UI to allow for plugin to add multiple buttons to the main toolbar

I want to be able to add different items from plugin's menu into main bar of the application.

For example, I am using "Reading List" plugin. From it, I most often using actions:
- Add to Default list
- Add Series to Default list
- Remove from Default list
- View Default list

I almost always ignore other actions provided by the plugin (I still can call them from the plugin's menu), but these four I am using often. And I want to have them as a one-click buttons in the main (or secondary) toolbar.

Similar with some other plugins - I often use just two-three commands from it, and want a quicker way to reach them.

Is that possible? If not now - add it is a feature request, please.

Thank you.

....

Tried. Step in the right direction, but not enough.

The Favourites Menu is creating its own menu with a "favorite" actions. That is good and help with difficult to find actions, yes. But it is still two mouse clicks.
I want just one click.

I have a plugin in the works. It's ongoing work that I hadn't time to finish.

You're welcome to test it and request actions to be added.

See if this works:

Shortcuts are a no-brainer solution, but I totally understand mouse driven people (like myself).

There is a limited number of shortcuts the human brain (mine, at least) can remember.

I get that. What I don’t get is why the toolbar is being cluttered just to save a single extra click. But hey, to each their own.

In my case, the clutter is in my mouse right button bar To have a bar with the options I mainly use in every plugin instead of every plugin would be nice, but only that, nice.
