Thinking about it more, not only I would like the items issue to be resolved with the Detect Magic mechanic, in fact it could be developed in a series of passive checks. A check on Arcana highlights scrolls just to name one, a check on Nature potentially useful herbs and other natural ingredients (if ever a crafting system will be introduced) etc. etc.
I agree with this. The Detect Magic/Detect Valuables (for non-magic characters) passive check mechanics it's a must in D&D that should not be underevaluated from Larian. In my opinion it would be just right in so many ways, and it will not waste players time with too many inventory tasks (which personally i find boring to manage as @irenicusdungeon says it would be much better the snap to option) . They should really consider an improvement about this part of the game. There is room for improvement here guys.
