How to change breaking tool of vanilla blocks

Some vanilla blocks, such as glass, glowstone, cacti, etc, don't have a "best breaking tool" and all take the same amount of time to break no matter what tool you're using. This is kind of annoying, especially when you need to break a whole lot of glass blocks during construction work.

So is there any way that vanilla blocks can be assigned a breaking tool? I'm also open to any hacky workarounds that produce a similar effect.
