The below talks about how to create a widget to/of the "settings"
menu, and how you can pre-select a sub-item from it (I'm assuming
you can still create widgets).

I followed those directions (on a pixel 6)  to see if it would work
as advertised, and selected, for step 3, "devices" as sub-item.  It
worked, and might be all you need.

 
I know about the widget, but it doesn't work for me. What I need isn't
under 'Devices'.

Don't know if the Shortcutter Quick Settings app is of any use. It
hasn't been updated since 2020.

  Do you have a Samsung phone? If so, the Gtricks article says the "Add
Settings shortcut widget" method does not work for newer (whatever that
means) Samsung phones and you need to "Use a third-party app":
"Shortcutter" [Quick Settings].

  In any case, I would try the Shortcutter Quick Settings app. Not being
updated in a long time, isn't neccessarily a bad thing. Good software
doesn't have to be fixed/updated every other day! :-( This post is
brought to you by over two *decade* old software!
