The only way this would work is to combine all of the refill / resource / buff into one big total and then use the splitting feature to take off the amount that you want to use or sell. Instead of turning 23 Irmas and 19 Irmas into 25 Irmas and 17 Irmas, the grand total would be 42 Irmas and you could split off 25 of them to sell in trade. That might actually work, as you would have one icon per star item and a number on it to show the quantity you have. It would make the star menu a bit smaller and tidier....
