Perhaps this exaple helps (fron cont-eni.pdf, p254). Here it is done with a test in a box, but should be possible with figures as well.

I have \start/\stopcombinations where the elements in a row have different heights, and the combinations bottom-align them. Is there a way to top-align them?

Ok, found that it's not possible to do it per-combination, unless you define a new combination. Otherwise, it's only possible to set it for all subsequent unnamed (default) combinations by

\setupcombinations[location=top]
