I don't think this will be a good idea.

Right.

No.

You could create the toolbars and simply load the VPL toolbars when 
needed. This does not require much coding, but using the 
slotLoadToolbarFile() and some guiFactory()->addClient and 
guiFactory()->removeClient, for example see the slotLoadToolbarForDTD()

But I don't like the idea, especially if in the long term you want VPL 
to be not HTML specific. It's better to fix VPL in that way that it 
works with all kind of actions that can be on a toolbar. So my question 
is: what does not work with VPL and why do you need different toolbars?
