Make a special "history table" node.
When you put an item into it, table reads (or sets for the first time) item's unique item_id.
item_id is a reference for append-only list of records with arbitrary text, author and date. Using the table node players can view all previous records or append a new one.
The records could be:
"This sword was used to slay a balrog" by playername on whatever-date.
"This triple mega sandwich was found by me lying on the floor in town hall"
This history may be appended by mods/quests too. (Finishing a "boss" mob or something with this item will append to it's history).

This is pretty useless by itself, just a bit of fun, but if you have a unique id for items, it can be used to set unique item stats too. Also, ability to rename items will be a good combo with this...

This also requires better modstorage :P
