It's possible to make a shortcut for this? If so, how?

In photoshop go to Edit>Keyboard Shortcuts and look under Tools

You can use this script to switch the state.

var r = new ActionReference();
r.putProperty(stringIDToTypeID("property"), stringIDToTypeID("tool"));
r.putEnumerated(stringIDToTypeID("application"), stringIDToTypeID("ordinal"), stringIDToTypeID("targetEnum"));

var ret = executeActionGet(r);

var options = ret.getObjectValue(stringIDToTypeID("currentToolOptions"));           
var tool = ret.getEnumerationType(stringIDToTypeID("tool"));

var x = options.getBoolean(stringIDToTypeID("usePressureOverridesOpacity"));

options.putBoolean(stringIDToTypeID("usePressureOverridesOpacity"), !x);

var r = new ActionReference();
r.putClass(tool);

var d = new ActionDescriptor();
d.putReference(stringIDToTypeID("null"), r);
d.putObject(stringIDToTypeID("to"), stringIDToTypeID("null"), options);

executeAction(stringIDToTypeID("set"), d, DialogModes.NO);

Can be modified for on / off only.

If you copy the script to the Photoshop scripts folder, then the script (or two scripts) can be assigned your own hotkeys.
