I'm asking because I swear I saw somewhere in a discussion about traps against building destroyers and the fact that artifact buildings or furniture won't be deconstructed by FBs and other building destroyers. Maybe it was a quern that was mentioned and not a millstone.

Then again, I used a regular mechanism in it, so maybe if I used an artifact mechanism..... (which I don't have yet)

Yep, it's the mechanism's fault.

similar with a bridge made of magma safe stone that is linked to a lever using non-magma safe mechanism, it will deconstruct the bridge when the mechanism is destroyed

Artifact structures are not immune to deconstruction by building destroyers. They are, however, immune to being destroyed by them. As I understand it, regular doors and the like under attack by building destroyers take damage, showing as increasingly worn (like clothing) until they're destroyed. The wiki appears to back me up on this one: Building destroyer article.

Well, in a previous fort that I decided to end through HFS, I had an artifact door that I had placed near the cavern entrance as a building destroyer distraction device (FBs were the intended target). I actually ended up having nearly all of the demons attracted to it like moths to a flame, but they never deconstructed the door.
