So things like a bandolier for your flasks that grants easy access for full attacking, or the Quickdraw feat. A Handy Haversack bypasses it as well since I think it calls up whatever you needed as a free action.. in fact, I recall at least one NPC from someplace designed with this concept in mind.
Yes, the Handy Haversack is "that good". Relieves weight concerns and simultaneously gives the Quickdraw feat with regards to throwing items.
Give some acid flasks, tanglefoot bags and thunderstones for some added combat options, and you have a nice utility/damage character without even adding in the cleric levels for bonus healing, etc.
The HHH is still a move action to draw. It's just a free action to call what you need to the top.

There's a potion belt from Faerun that makes it a swift action to draw a potion.
