Feature request: Use items from menu without equipping them

[puddydoo]

If you press A on items in the inventory as if they were equipment, and if the item can be used at this time, it should immediately close the inventory and use the item once without equipping it. The A button would make sense, as in OoT pressing A here does nothing. Although in Majora's Mask, the A button is used to give "Info" on the item.

This would remove the need to fiddle around with your C-slots to use things like potions and spells that you would normally just use once and then have to open the menu again to re-equip a more useful item. Solving another of OoT's equipment woes.
Though suboptimal for Sticks, Bombs, Bombchus, and Hammer, it would still be usable for those items as you can jump attack/throw the bomb with A.
But it would have to be disabled for Slingshot, Boomerang, Bow, and Hookshot since you wouldn't be able to shoot them, and possibly also for Lens of Truth due to the mechanic that it turns off when it is not on your C-slots.

That's actually not a bad idea. Seconded.

#1695 (not sure if this is something we'll merge or not, it adds quite a bit of complexity)

On second thought it makes more sense to have this feature use the L button instead of A. That way it could also potentially autoplay songs
