I find it mind boggling that we can read the name of an inventory
item, but not a description!

Would be great to have:
string llGetInventoryDesc(integer type, integer number)

And one would think this is cinchy to implement... And yes, I need
that extra field for long urls :)

What I really want is an INVENTORY_URI type, which we would use
as an internet resource type.

Failing that, I just want to use the name and description fields
in inventory to store pairs of anchor text and urls (an empty
notecard, object, texture.. doesn't matter)

Yes, I already do the same thing with notecards. No way to
speed up reading in a notecard... (oh, well had a wild thought
of distributing line requests for the same notecard amongst helper
processes.. but that's just .. well .. insane ;)

yeah would be nice, but I can see why more than just the name is not available for assets inside assets. Although it really should at least be available to the data server.

but what I often do is store data in a memory script and read/write it with linked messages, its much quicker than the read only notecards.
