Can you use a hidden pouches belt (Races of Wild) or a bag of holding to quickdraw a weapon or item from them?

Sure. Why couldn't you?

I don't know about the hidden belt puches, but I would say no for the bag of holding.
Retrieving a specific item from a bag of holding is a move action—unless the bag contains more than an ordinary backpack would hold, in which case retrieving a specific item is a full-round action.

When you take something from the bag of holding, it's more a retrieve object action, not a "drawing a weapon" action.

If there were such things as "retrieve object" actions and "drawing a weapon" actions, that might be right.

Quick Draw:
You can draw a weapon as a free action instead of as a move action. You can draw a hidden weapon (see the Sleight of Hand skill) as a move action.

A (more full than an ordinary backpack) bag of holding takes a full round to retrieve something from, and Quick Draw would reduce this to a move action instead.

I believe that a Heward's Handy Haversack allows one to retrieve items quicker than normally. However, I do not believe it is a free action, nor do I think it would allow a weapon to be "quick-drawn" out of it.

From the SRD:


Retrieving any specific item from a haversack is a move action, but it does not provoke the attacks of opportunity that retrieving a stored item usually does
