Drop off at closest pathing location instead of geographically

Tynan, forgive my ignorance but I could not find another topic on the subject.

Currently if I understand correctly a pawn will choose to drop resources at the closest geographical recipient (assuming same priority), How likely would it be that you could change it to the closest location pathing wise instead?

When setup in a mountain pawns will run through my entire base because there's a stockpile that happens to be behind a few tiles or rock, which i have stockpiles at the entrance intended for dropoff that go mostly unused because pawns look for the geographically closest spot, not the closest spot pathing wise.

That isn't only for hauling, it is for most other range checks too.
Like when a pawn seeks a table to eat, 2 tiles away behind a wall but 50 tiles to walk and 25 tiles another table would be closer.
