How do I Pin to the absolute top of a sprite?

I would like to add a health bar to a sprite that always hovers a few pixels over its top most side.

Both position only and bar style track the pinned objects rotation, but I want to remain directly north of the sprite at all times.

Is this what you are trying to do?

Yes, that solves the problem, but adds the overhead of having to keep track of another UID for what I am doing. I may just end up doing an on every tick to set the position. Thanks!
