Lock individual inventory slots

If setting up a industry that ist reliant on inputs, that you cant produce yourself, you might want to buy a specific amount of something, and often fill up a specific stockpile. For example: you want to produce basic upgrades 1, and need plant fiber for the basic gathering papers. So you set up a shop to buy them. You want to fill up 1 stack at any given tim, but at the same time need raw food tags, so you buy those too. Also 1 stack at any given time. And in parallel you need some rock tags for your geology papers. Also one Stack. Each Item ist supposed to be deposited into a specialized chest/stockpile. All of this gets out of hand really quickly. And at the moment, you would need to set up one shop per item. In this instance just 3 for getting this simple auto-shop done. It would be nice, if there was a way to lock inventory slots so that they have there item preprogrammed and only take that specific Item. Even better if you would be able to program slots for tags (in this example rock-tags and raw-food-tags). An other solution would be, to set up the storages per order in the shop. But the locking of slots would make more sense, since you would be able to apply that mechanic in a lot of different circumstances.
