How about if you added an option to the game-menu called "Create recipe". This would bring up a list of all weapons/tools/armors/scales/jewlery/spells in the game from all tiers. You select one and up comes the crafting window where you add techs and such to selected item (just like the HCC). When you now press "create", a piece of paper pops up in your inventory. This paper you can hand over to someone else who can then "use" it to open up the real craftwindow with item and all techs already selected and he can more or less just click create (persuming he has all needed techs and forms scribed and resources) to make the real item.
This means a player can "make" his armor as a recipe and just hand the recipe over to the crafter instead of the long "I want mithril plate blabla with this and that" chatter which takes so much time.
