Puts an arbitrary item onto the cursor. Puts an item onto the cursor regardless of its location (equipped, bags, bank or not even in the player's possession); can be used to put an item into an action slot (see PlaceAction()) even if the player does not currently hold the item. Since the item is not picked up from a specific location, this function cannot be used to move an item to another bag, trade it to another player, attach it to a mail message, destroyed, etc.
