Is it possible to extend a window fully in just one direction?

hello, hyprland community!

i am looking for a bind that will expand a window fully in one direction only. for example, i would like to expand a window fully vertically, or expand a window fully horizontally. existing windows would have to be pushed away. is there any way to achieve this?

disclaimer: i have searched around, trying to find an answer. however, i have found none. maybe it is because this is obvious to other users. or, maybe i have just not looked the right place.
