dropdown commands/jobs "haul to pack animal" "unload pack animal"

Requesting features to expedite the process of looting bodies after a fight, and of dropping off crafting materials (like the ones you loot from a ruin) at the base.
Descriptions: Right click the bull, hold shift, select "auto-haul" and your looter, if idle, will run any weapons/armor in their inventory that they aren't wearing, animal skins, raw meat, iron plates...and stick it on the bull. Probably exclude food and medical supplies from the list if possible.
For unload, right click bull, click unload (hold shift), they go to the bull and take anything that your base has a specific storage container for and put it there.
Reasoning: If it's a nightmare to code, I don't fault the dev for not doing it. But I think the game could really use a lot better inventory management, since it's one of the main detractors from the game experience for me currently. Dust bandits drop good money but I don't pick it up because if I do it every time my wrist will be sore and I'll play the game less. This feature would reduce the clicks involved by about 1/3rd or half, since the character would stick it on the bull for me, instead of all that extra fiddling with inventory windows and making sure the character is close enough to the bull. Ruins also have iron plates and steel bars and electricals and such, I grab them because I'm obsessive like that, but in doing so I make a lot of extra work for myself in getting everything to where it needs to be.
I had a long ranty discussion on the steam forums leading to this post, here. https://steamcommunity.com/app/233860/d ... 957730484/
Kenshi is amazing, and thank you for your time.
