Hello Daniel,
I'm impressed -- you are someone who really reads and follows the instructions
on the Web site, and you are even in advance of my email on this subject,
which I will send later this week.
Both of these are very valid request, and I am happy to tell you that I
believe that they are both *already* implemented in version 1.38.0.
See my notes below:

This should be possible using Python Scripting in the SD, where you can get
control in your Python script at several points during the start of a job
(the documentation is a bit sketchy, sorry ...), and at the very end of the
job.
This implementation is not exactly the same as a Storage Run Before/After,
because it would not be the Director that sends the request to the SD, but
rather it would work depending on how you program it in the SD.

This can be implemented using the new "Run" directive in the Job resource.
This directive is described in the ReleaseNotes as well as the new manual.
Note, the primary purpose of the Run command is to clone jobs, but you can
also use it to simply start other jobs.
If you think that the current 1.38.0 implementation does not properly support
your two requests, please resubmit them with an explanation.
