Finally i found out how to set tool options, so here is a script that switches tools Sample Mode.
And finally we can assign a shortcut to that.
For some tools it toggles "Sample All Layers" on/off,
for others it switches Sample Mode between Current / Current & Below / All Layers / etc.
In the start of the script there is a variable called 'includeAllOptions' that controls whether to cycle all options (set to true) or only Current / Current & Below (set to false).
The script will appear in the top of the File / Scripts menu.
It was kinda hard to figure some stuff out, so i decided not to encrypt it's contents, so that anyone could investigate it.
Happy switching āŗ And if you have any comments, questions or suggestions, i'll be happy to hear them.
The script:

<name>Switch Sample Mode</name>
<enableinfo>true</enableinfo>
<category>Hirlin Scripts</category>
</javascriptresource>

var includeAllOptions = true; // should be either true or false
// if set to false will switch between 'Current' and 'Current &below' or just switch on / off
// if seet to true will switch between all avaliable variants as well as on / off
// getting currentToolOptions property
