Is it possible in InDesign to globally adjust the size of font A relative to the size of another font B so that given the same "Font Size" they have always the same height of their lowercase letters?

I know that in CSS there is a property font-size-adjust that makes this possible, but is there anything like that in InDesign?

It could look like specifing a multiplier for a font that is automatically allowed for when changing "Font Size".

"Porttitor" is set in a different typeface with a larger x-height:



With the character style applied, the x-heights align, regardless of the font size:
