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 ☺ 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>

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
