Or is there an item that allows you to see through the item itself? Like a small object that can be placed somewhere and then later allows you to see through the item? (Like the Hexblood ability from 5th edition)
Scout's headband is approved.

I do not know if such an item exists in 3.5 but it has potential for story, it may come into existence in the world.

I see the technical issues around equipping your character. I will keep that in mind, your loot should be useful all of the time.
