You could try something like this:
mob
    var
        bag = list("Bag of Gold", "Healing Vial", "Club")
    verb
        Open_Bag()
            bag += "[Close]"
            var/selected = input("Select Item", "Inventory") in bag


Of course you may want to format your inventory differently.
Using numbers or Object names to have them loaded into the list in their icon form.
I would help more, but I've never put icons/items in an input list before so this is about as far as I can take you.

You'll have to work around with it.
Thats the way I did most of my coding. Check the DM guide/reference for tips and usage for procs.
Be sure to search the Developer articles section well for any examples and tips for you to use as well.

I wouldn't mind helping, but I'm still very much a novice to DM language, myself. So I can't really give much more than just basic information.

Best of luck to you though.

Could you do it through a grid? Have all your options in the grid, with their icon.
