This seems very similar in principle (and in execution) to my lathe macros:
https://forum.linuxcnc.org/41-guis/26550-lathe-macros?start=240#247195

And, in fact, it is just a case of editing/creating the SVG files and
adding the buttons to each tab to make this work for milling (or any
other machine)
This post includes instructions on how to make your own cycles and
graphics (including the rather hacky way that the numeric entry boxes
are positioned by data hidden in the XML of their tooltip)

Note that the lathe macros are included in one of the Gmoccapy sample
configs - sim/gmoccapy/lathe_configs/lathe_macros
