That would be the most straightforward solution, but if for example one
button on the toolbar affects 2 independent toggles, then what do we do
with the status of the button after one of the 2 toggles has changed?

IMHO we should only consider to give each of the 23 sources an
individual toggle, and each of the 38 targets. Then, if you really want
to snap exclusively a gradient handle to a circle center, then only one
toggle in each of the source and target groups should be enabled.
Allowing to set each combination individually would be really too much.

Yes, that's the way to go.
