[1.16.5] Simulating using different items

I'm trying to create a mod that allows the player/entities to equip a tool and use the tool whenever whatever they're doing seems like it needs the tool. For example, I want them to be able to equip a pickaxe and whenever they're mining without a tool, the blocks break as fast as with the pickaxe and fortune or whatever is applied. Of course I'm trying to make this work for multiple tools at the same time to make it a bit more useful. I was able to cover breaking and harvesting blocks with the PlayerEvent.BreakSpeed and PlayerEvent.HarvestCheck events, but I realized that this was not very reliable when trying to modify attack damage and with possible other modded items. I want the effects of the tool to also carry over, like with sweeping with swords and enchantments. Unless I code all the enchantments and other effects manually, I don't see how to do this. Is there any way I could basically simulate the player using a different item to attack or break blocks that would support any item?
