The video titled "New FreeCAD Feature! Complex Extrudes from a Single Sketch Like in SolidWorks" from the MangoJelly Solutions for FreeCAD channel demonstrates a new feature in FreeCAD version 0.22 (soon to be FreeCAD 1.0) that allows the creation of complex 3D objects (Complex Extrudes) from a single sketch, just like in leading CAD programs like SolidWorks.
This is a summary of the main content of the video, highlighting the key parts relevant to your request (around the 5:09 mark).
The video content shows how users can:
Draw multiple profiles in one sketch
The demonstrator creates multiple shapes (e.g. circles, grooves) within the same sketch on the XY plane.

Create separate 3D objects from a single sketch.
In previous versions of FreeCAD, extruding a sketch with multiple profiles in the Part Design Workbench would fail. [
]00:48 This new feature allows users to select the edges of the profile they want to Extrude separately. [
]02:02 The user can select one set of edges to create the first Pad (Extrude) piece [
] And then select another set of edges to create a second or subsequent Pad. [02:08 ]02:43 This method allows for the creation of parts consisting of different extrudes (different heights or directions) from a single original sketch. [

This new feature works with both Extrude (Pad) and Revolve.
Now you can use a single sketch to extrude its parts, just like you can in other leading CAD programs.
