Can you macro in the use of an item?

Can you make the use of an item, if so, how?

Thanks in advance.

drag the item onto the bar

I would also like to know if this is possible.
"/item" or "/use" don't work.

I said macro. Not hotkey. Thats different.

bump? does anyone know ... this info would be greatly appreciated.

Can't check, dead PC. type / then press Tab and it'll list all the / commands in auto-translate, if there is a /item then you can use /item (type /?item for the command syntax).

i've already been down this road, it use to be in the game.

Sad but true.

you cant do it, combed every inch of the text commands and you simply cant.

Reasons why you would want to.

Add a healing potion to a self healing macro
Add a Vitality potion to the beginning of a self healing macro
add a resistance potion to the end of defensive macro for bosses who use elemental attacks
add a poison/silence/paralyze potion to end of offensive macro
add a specific debuff potion to a defensive macro for boss specific fights that apply poison/silence/paralyze/petrify
add a buff potion to offensive macro such as +intelligence then a group of offensive spells for BLM, as an example

also slightly related, I would love to be able to feed other people and have a macro to do it.

/item "eft tail" <player 1>
/item "eft tail" <player 2>
/item "eft tail" <player 3>
/item "eft tail" <player 4>

would make my cooking class significantly more valuable, i dont understand why i cant feed others.
