Want to pile on – years later, I had the same issue (didn’t have access to toolbarEvent inside a modal), and this solution also worked for me.

```plaintext
      api.onToolbarCreate((toolbar) => {
        toolbar.addButton({
          ...
          sendAction: (event) =>
            toolbar.context.send("triggerMyModal", event),
          ...
        });
      });

      api.modifyClass("component:d-editor", {
        modal: service(),
        pluginId: "poll",
        actions: {
          triggerMyModal(toolbarEvent) {
            this.modal.show(MyCustomModal, {
              model: {
                toolbarEvent,
              },
            });
          },
        },
      });

```

Thanks for the help, Keegan.
