Wish : when selecting multiple objects (or sub-object selecting) with “align to object” as the selected gumball mode - the multi-selection axis alignment becomes the average of the axes of the individual elements :

In the geometry above - “align to object” works perfectly for each face, but defaults to world axes when more than one is selected.

(thought that this related to a comment in another recent thread but can’t find it now so starting a new one… (mods if someone knows please merge))
