Hi roaoao,
A screenshot wont explain as its in the action. I simply mean that when I trigger a menu with assigned key menu stays on screen even after pressing desired function. Eg. I trigger the menu, select clay brush, but menu is still there, after using the clay brush I can click on the smooth brush. Basically like a floating toolbar. Panel could be triggered on/off with assigned key (even better would be to have a Close button - like in attached mockup). Maybe its pushing the scope of the pie menu system?..
There was an add-on for this - Menu Pinning. But looks like it’s not available now.
It’s not exactly the same feature but I’m going to add Tools Panel Editor in one of the next versions. You will be able to add new tabs with custom buttons:

Another question, is it possible to make the backing panel transparent so or even color tint the buttons like in mockup?
You can make side panel semi-transparent using User Preferences - System - Region Overlap option. But you can’t tint the buttons.

I’ll look into the stack key and yes the checkbox toggle will be great, thanks for those pointers.
Yes, stack keys should work in regular menus.
Add and
a menu item. Select your stack key in Menu tab.
