Right now both actions can accidentally get mixed up, both are related to materia and worded VERY similarly (retrieve vs extract), both offer a "warning" and there's no negative to finishing a spiritbond anymore (the gear is no longer lost) so that warning feels unnecessary.
    I know of two different ways to handle this that exist in-game already.

    First, there's the equipment/inventory UI. When your gear hits 100% spiritbond, the dots in the UI turn white. The alignment of the dots directly corresponds to your gear slots in your Character window, so it is not very difficult to navigate straight to the correct gear that can give you a free materia.

    Second, there is the Materia Extraction/Materia Creation window. This is under Actions & Traits > General, and can be assigned to a hotbar for quick access. This is the preferred method to use if you're afraid you might "Retrieve" a materia rather than "Extract" one.

    Would it be possible to add Gearset and Macro as a subcategory under the Hotbar text command? As it is right now, we have to manually drag-and-drop those elements on to hotbars and it would be far more clean if we could assign their slots via text command.

    I've always had the inventory grid hidden but the 2nd method will be very useful, thanks!
