We achieve this dynamic call in the method display_options_in_the_top_bar as follows (see code 6.06.py):

    def display_options_in_the_top_bar(self):
        self.show_selected_tool_icon_in_top_bar (self.selected_tool_bar_function)
        options_function_name = "{}_options".format(self.selected_tool_bar_function)
