Perpendicular movement of two objects within a block

This might be something very easy and I'm just overthinking it and don't know the correct terms to search for it.....But here's the question.....

I would like to link the movement of two objects at the same time within a block. I need the two objects to move perpendicular to each other and require that I can pick either object to make the move.

I attached a simple drawing of a box and circle. The box moves horizontally, circle vertically. I want to be able to grab the box and move it left or right also causing the circle to move up and down......and then be able to do the same by grabbing the circle and moving it up and down causing the box to move left and right.

If there is a post or video on this already, I apologize for this post but please point me towards it as I was not able to find it while searching.

If this can't be done, just please let me know and I'll move along to something else.

I appreciate any help or explanation you can provide.

Thank you.

You just needed to add another move to each distance parameter, change the angle offset to 90 degrees and add the opposite object and distance parameter to the moves. See the attached drawing.

That is exactly what I was looking for. I knew I was overthinking it with double lookups and chained parameters/actions.

Thanks for your assistance.......awesome.
