Couldn't find the thread, but this is how it works.
You need to activate the workbench for it to show up in the menu. Even then pure python stuff like the the draft workbench show up under the Python menu entry.
I try'd it at this way to, but Draft WB dosn't aper at the menue (other WBs don't aper to), - here a screenshot:

But: If it would work, this workflow isn't intuitve, it is awkward... At my personal TB at Part WB i have Tools from Draft, Fasteners, and A2+ WB.
A lot or clicking if you always have to close the steup window, change the WB, open the setup window again, select the WB where you want to have it again...

Btw one thing more whats confusing: The Names of the WBs and Tools should not be translated... If you look at the pic above: its not easy to realize that you have to select "Formteil" if you want a tool from Part WB, - especally not if you have to select "Part WB" at the target menue...

I added the requested library as a dependency. Will do this also for the freecad-feedstock.

The Draft commands are available from the Python menu entry, not a Draft WB menu entry.
Cycle through all the WB's you need for the TB, then Edit>Customize, no need to go back and forth.

I wouldn't, but it's not without reason. I'm a big fan of the "lazy loading" philosophy FreeCAD employs. For me the lack of intuitiveness is an exceptable compromise. As always we should strive to document this better :oops:

PS: When you restart FreeCAD again, and icons are missing from the custom toolbar, we can discuss work-arounds.

This is also due to lazy loading. At FreeCAD start the icons aren't known until the workbench is activated.
One way is to create a macro, bind it to an icon and add it to the custom toolbar.

This way don't work, because i can not add the macro to the toolbar, - it is not shown if i select "Macro" at the menuewhere to select the icons to add. I have it at personal and (FC) system Makrofolder.

Also the Icons don't aper if i cycle through the WBs manuel.
