This is sometimes possible for a regular button (or indeed, a single 
menuitem). Often these items have a very simple action, and if you are 
lucky the action is delegated to another element, called a command or 
broadcaster. Therefore all you need to is to create your own custom 
button and designate the same command/broadcaster and that will often be 
all you need to clone the behaviour.

However I don't think this is possible for more complex objects like the 
URL bar. Instead what you could consider is to change the styling of the 
existing elements in full screen mode. (This includes overriding the 
hiding of the navigation toolbar in full screen mode.) It might even be 
possible to do this entirely in CSS.
