Snap Assist to top and bottom in portrait mode

In Windows 10, is there a way to make my windows snap to the top and bottom when I'm using my computer in portrait mode? I frequently need to take notes on the bottom half of the screen with a stylus, and keep another window open at the top for reference.
The left/right split in portrait mode is nearly useless.

 

Snap Assist to top and bottom in portrait mode

I work in Portrait on my desktop and have found an almost-but-not-quite solution building on Eeshwar's suggestion.

1) Snap a window to one of the corners. For this purpose we'll say you have your notes app and Snap it to bottom-left or bottom-right.

2) Size the snapped window horizontally to fill the screen

3) Snap "top" window to either top corner - the window will match the size of your previously-snapped bottom window and fill the rest of the screen.

This solution has drawbacks:

1) Extra step - you must resize the initial window after snapping

2) No official keyboard shortcuts

 

portrait mode window snaps

I there a way to make window snap so that they are split horizontally when using portrait mode?

I use sp3 in portrait mode all the time and having the windows snap vertically as usual is just ridiculous.

If not, it would be really helpful if there is a way to make them snap top and bottom by dragging the windows top and bottom respectively
