You can sort of do this currently, although I don't think it would have worked for what you were trying to do here.
If you use the QuickShape tool and set the number of sides to 4, you can draw a square, and then manipulate one of the sides while still in the QuickShape tool. Any changes to one side will be made to all of the sides symetrically.
Unfortunately, you can only draw squares this way (not rectangles), and the changes you make affect all four sides at the same time.
This signature would be seven words long if it was six words shorter.
