How do I zoom a layer in X or Y

Is possible to scale or zoom a layer only in vertical or horizontal direction like in Contruct Classic?

Use layer scale in combination with scroll to position

I mean stretch the layer in one direction.

Although stretching layouts/layers is not supported (I wouldn't recommend it for it changes the look and the feel of your game entirely), Most objects support it (tiled-background and tilemaps excluded) and as such creating a function to do it should be entirely possible..
