This is a great workflow, and thank you. Unfortunately it won't work if you use a tool like Bartender that moves the bluetooth menu item off the main bar (or if you don't want the bluetooth menu item displayed).  For us cranks it's harder; I installed a command line tool called Bluetooth Connector and made a simpler less friendly workflow than yours that I named "Toggle my airpods" that just calls the command line /usr/local/bin/BluetoothConnector 4c-32-75-c2-09-b4 (because that's the MAC address of my airpods; yours would be different)

 

I personally suggest people find a way to be less stubborn than me and just use your workflow but I thought I'd post this for the unfortunate souls like me who find this post.
