it would be great if the toolbar could be customizable for the volume rendering module and segmentation module similar to the markup module.  
would save a lot of back and forth.

You can already do this using the Modules panel of the Settings menu.

I’m wishing for the possibility of expanding the module in the toolbar like the markups module

I think some modules like volume rendering, segmentation, dynamic modeling etc can really be used much easier if expanded in the toolbar.

for example, in my workflow, I do move back and forth between volume properties. and being able to change it from the toolbar without the need to go to the module and back would be great

I think it is a good idea. We might want to think about this when it is time to revamp the volume rendering. Markups like toolbar with volume object, preset selector and slide may simplify things.
