This can be done by calling the event callback directly. The Custom button is attached to a Toolbar on WB as toolbar Entries. So, first accessing the toolbar and then it's entry will provide access to the Click event callback.

Example:

custom_button_ext = ExtAPI.ExtensionManager.GetExtensionByName("CustomButtonWB")
toolbar = custom_button_ext.Interface.Toolbars[0]
button = toolbar.Entries[0]
button.Click()
