I heartily second this, with another suggestion: Maybe let people, through some mechanism I can't quite figure out yet, give the AI some sort of signal that they want a door open. A message would then show up in the chat that says something along the lines of "Joe Pubs is requesting access to Medbay" or something like that. It would then give you a hyperlink-type thing (similar to the way you can click on people's names in-chat and start tracking them) that would automatically open whatever door they've requested! Maybe just make it a shortcut to the "Open Nearest Door To" command, since the person will likely be right in front of the door anyways. That way, you can handle multiple access requests at once without having to fling your view around the station like a madman.
Or just give us a little sound effect, if that's more convenient.
