Is it possible to 'top link' a complex profile's height (a wall) to a story?

Yes, but only if the 'Height Stretch' modifier is active in the profile settings.

Do note the two dashed lines that appear when you turn that option on. These lines define the stretch zone and can be moved to a select area if you do not want everything to stretch such as in Barry's example where the render skirt would be a fixed height or linked to a Profile Modifier.

I don't have any profile modifiers in this profile, but could have to adjust the height of what is nominated as 'fixed' as Lingwisyer suggested.

Got it, this is great. Thank you!

Thank you! Totally makes sense - I was playing around with wall profiles, so this works with moldings/etc.
