Align along an axis like Blender3D

When using the “Align Tool,” it attaches the object to the other object. I only want it to align along the “Z” axis while keeping “X” and “Y” fixed. This is not possible with the “Align Tool.” I want to align only along the axis, similar to how it works in Blender3D software; I don’t want the entire object to attach together.

See this link. I have had issues with the Align tool since day one and I’ve just learned that I have a love/hate relationship with it. Sometimes Translate is the better tool.
