Selecting hidden menu bar items via keyboard shortcut

Hello,
I am testing Bettertouchtool so far and like the entire concept!

I came across an issue which I can't solve so far. I would like to click (open/close) menu bar items via keystroke. There is an action called: "Click Menu Bar Status Item". As status item I selected the desired item (application) from the drop bar menu.

The issue is as followed: When the option "automatically hide and show the menu bar" in Control Center (MacOS) is set to "always", this action does not work. I prefer to use this option, but the problem is that the action doesn't work via keystroke.

Basically, I would like to trigger menu bar items (click action) with a keyboard shortcut. Is it possible to use this action when the menu bar is hidden?

Thanks in advance!
