Suggestion: unlock Waypoint on approaching area entrance (without loading into the area)

Does anyone else always enter new areas as soon as possible, touch the Waystone near its entrance, then double back? I do this because I've had bad experiences with portals closing way earlier than expected after crashes, connection issues, etc. But you gotta sit through two loading screens to do this. It'd be more convenient if you just unlocked the Waystone by discovering area entrances without having to enter them.

I realize this would be awkward with a few areas, like the Grelwood, but certainly places like this could have secondary Waystones or Checkpoints that stay unlocked near key areas or something.
