Really, my reason was more naive.

"Hey, man! I see you be slangin' them Leather Tool Belts. Can I place an order from you directly for Dodoskin Boots?"
they could make it so, when you search for an Item and there is 0 retainers selling it, you could choose an option "seek craft". Your retainer would then have this extra icon with seek craft.

Crafters cool search the ward in the "seeking craft" menu and see what is requested. Once crafted they can go exchange this item to the seeking retainer for the reward listed by the seeker.
