but it cutz da treez so much bettererz!

(I always airlock vital equipment stores with a dropchute, and a drawbridge. Artifact gets made, it goes to the 1x1 tile stockpile which has a quality restriction allowing only artifacts, and all other piles forbid artifacts. It goes there, when it gets there, I order the lever pulled, and it falls into the room below, which conveniently has another storage stockpile inside it, preventing job cancellation spam about being unable to path to return the artifact to the drop hatch. When I want a dwarf in there, I give them a station order, and open the drawbridge. This is useful for captains and other important military dwarves that you want wearing only the finest. You can give them the "naked" uniform, and station them in the treasury vault, close the bridge up behind them, then remove their uniform requirements and station orders. They will grab whatever is nearby, which will be garanteed to be artifact quality goodies. Being unable to drop artifact goods means you can assign additional weapons to them, and they wont be displaced. This means you can have a military badass packing a small arsenal as the military squad captain.)

can put stockpiles over open space or hatches/grates now?

A retracting bridge my dear. :D
