Tacking together fictional universes can be rewarding (Eureka, Alphas, and Warehouse 13, for instance), and I honestly do believe something in the same vein as Stargate could be canon compliant. But to make it so explicity Stargate instead of derivative is...well, disappointing, I suppose. Canonically we know that artifact's do exist in other universes, and presumably at least some of those other universes have some sort of Warehouse equivalent (leading me to think of all sorts of fun jurisdiction scenarios). But surely instead of actually using Stargate we could simply create a new thing altogether with Stargate as our inspiration?

The Stargate prop could certainly be an artifact, and hell, it could link to the Stargate universe like Anthony Bishop's Manuscript, but even canonically everyone knows that the Noir universe in that episode is a fictional one that has to end. The City of Ghouls is ambiguous but the agents recognize that they are illustrations once within. To defictionalize a fictional work just doesn't seem to be how the Warehouse universe operates.
