Well using btrfs command line I got my desired functionality by simple executing:
# btrfs subvolume snapshot /var/lib/docker/volumes/apex-5.1.4 /var/lib/docker/volumes/apex-5.1.4-app4
after that running docker volume command shows a correct output :)

# docker volume ls
DRIVER              VOLUME NAME
local               480892f214a8514905e1112227a1f031a1d5527d7edbed56a7a380afe6577477
local               5742d0cd1d4a0833d18f0e542393a01930e7131f6e4dc757faa4e4b3dba88f67
local               7e633ed027cb1a3d1825559d0092ec21da6641fda21c530fe4e98ae38475b761
btrfs               apex-5.1.4
btrfs               apex-5.1.4-app1
btrfs               apex-5.1.4-app2
btrfs               apex-5.1.4-app3
btrfs               apex-5.1.4-app4

So we have the alternative of working with btrfs commands or adding a hook in cli.py and plugin.py to accept a command like:
$ docker exec -ti plugin_btrfs buttervolume clone apex-5.1.4 apex-5.1.4-app4
to run above btrfs command.
Best regards, Marcelo.
