@David: Of course it would be nice to have an adapted version of your

do not spend too much time on it. It is not super urgent for me.

I don't see any easy way to do this.

You could determine the X-coordinate of the object you want the hairpin to align to and scale the hairpin stencil in the X-axis; however, this could result in distortion.

Better would be to allow modification of the starting and ending points in the stencil function itself--the equivalent of shorten-pair.  I can't give you a function to plug in--it would involve converting the 220 line C++ hairpin stencil function into Scheme to make some additions.  Well, to be fair, some of those lines are comments...

Sorry I can't be of more help.
