Telescience can already kind of do this. You can set up a Perm Portal from telescience to somewhere on the station, and when people walk into it you shut it down and then teleport them wherever. Adding in a way to streamline the process would simply make it faster, easier, and a lot more user-friendly. I'm all for this.
What if you just gave Telescience two consoles? Each one can scan, each one can teleport to/from the pad, but if you activate a Perm Portal with both, it links the two locations you've got in each computer. So you have one telescientist trying to figure out locations on the station, so he can plop a portal in the jazz lounge, and you have another one scanning for the Ice Moon. Once they've both got it figured out, they both hit the Perm Portal, and it puts a linked portal from the jazz lounge straight to the Ice Moon.
