Can the Settlers deposit the load into something other than the Workbench?

Kinggath, would it be possible to add an option to set up a special container just for Salvage Beacons and the settlers deposit anything they haul into that container? If people like the current system they can continue using it as is but I know I can't be the only one that would prefer things not be dumped directly into the workbench. I have a system that I've set up for sorting through a haul when I bring it to base and I'd like to be able to maintain that, just with the added step of retrieving the haul from the Salvage Beacons container before I sort through it. I *can* adapt and pull the stuff I need to out of the workbench whenever it gets there but it'd be a lot easier if I could sort it out before it goes in while also being able to indiscriminately drop everything I don't need on me at the time into a container for settlers to mule back for me.
 
Idek's Logistics Station, the Mechanist Lair, and Salvage Beacons complement each other in almost horribly nice ways.

If you're unfamiliar IDEK's LS automatically recalculates supply routes with every new station. It also does some resource management, *and* it creates a 'logistics locker' shared storage that you can link to a container of your choice. It will collect items from linked settlements workstorage into that container

Including another workbench. Of course thousand of gallons of water and food in a workbench generate attacks. Except, y'know, this one, The mechanist lair.
Which in turn can be connected via supply routes to the entire network. And can receive shipments from Salvage Beacons.

Which basically turns the Mechanist Lair into a Fortress/Supply Depot that you can access anywhere you have a logistics station at will. Also inherently bypasses numerous limits on 'Settlers only stock 'x' amount of food/water/scrap in the workbench' because it clears the workbench on a daily basis. He also includes standalone logistic lockers you can put near your City desk in linked settlement or interior plots like Home Base. Personally I like to use all three of these in a single room and just pretend it's my Settlement command center.
