In some cases this issue can be designed around but not all. For example a multi card UI with different forms on each card but you want all the left margins of the fields to align. If this is a non-resizable stack then it's just a layout issue.

Really it's an object selection problem. What would be cool is an object selection mode that would drill through all stacks and pull up a list of objects and which card they were on. From there you could Deselect controls. Reorder them. Set all heights and widths the same based on a chosen one etc. Actually, come to think of it you could just list all controls for each card and allow the user to do multiple selection then some alignment.
