Is it possible for the auto formatter to line up code using certain characters in VS Code

Is it possible for the auto formatter to line up code using certain characters in VS Code?

For example, turn this:

{
    "one" : "one",
    "two" : "two",
    "three" : "three",
    "four" : "four"
}

Into this:

{
    "one"   : "one",
    "two"   : "two",
    "three" : "three",
    "four"  : "four"
}

Or this:

var one = "one";
var two = "two";
var three = "three";
var four = "four";

Into this:

var one   = "one";
var two   = "two";
var three = "three";
var four  = "four";

One way to accomplish this language-agnostically would be to use the Cursor Align extension, and use multiple cursors. To align a set of characters, you can select all occurrences of the selection (on Windows, the keyboard shortcut is Ctrl+Shift+L)
