Option to Change Bluetooth Audio Codec and/or Profile in xfce4-panel

Hi.
I'm asking a new feature to be implemented in the Volume button of xfce4-panel.
I use bluetooth headphones while I work, I listen to music and I have reunions with coworkers.
The problem is that I have to open the Audio Mixer window to be able to switch between the mSBC codec (on the HFP profile) for reunions (otherwise the mic of the headphones won't work) and the SBC codec (on the A2DP profile) for music (this has better sound quality).
Today the Volume button allows to change the volume, to change the output device and to see what applications are reproducing sound. It would be great if the Volume button also allowed to change the profile and/or codec, saving the user the trouble of having to open the Audio Mixer and going to the Configuration tab.
Thanks

Note 1: My headphones are Soundcore Life Q30.
Note 2: My distro is Linux Mint.

Feature requests should be created in the bug tracker so that the developer can see and action them.
