Default Hydraulic motor question

My own thought would be to add a valve and line. The valve would open
when the pump is commanded to stop moving and would connect the pressure
side to the return side. So even if the motor kept running , there would
be no pressure to the hydraulic pump. May be a lousy idea as it would
not lock the position.

No, connecting pressure to return of the MOTOR would allow it to coast to
any position. Right now, the pump acts as a bit of a brake on the motor.

A traditional relieving valve would allow the pump to be unloaded, but would
block the ports on the motor, holding it in position. This is a standard
valve type.
