Does anybody know if you can set a function button to update the home point easily?

When I fly from home in a 2nd-floor apartment balcony, I take off from the balcony under the roof, and then I need to update the home point because the original home point is on top of my roof.
I always have to go manually in the menu to update that but I am wondering if I can set a bottom to do this more easily.
 
GPS has nothing to do with elevation. It’s just a point on the earth based on LAT and LONG. The point would be the same whether you’re on the first floor of a building or at the same point on the 40th floor of the building. If you’re flying from the 2nd floor balcony, the home point would be the same as it is directly above you on the roof. You can still bring it back with the RTH button but would need to cancel it and manually bring it down to your balcony.

He's not talking about elevation.
He launches from under a roof and doesn't want the drone in RTH to come down on the roof.
He'd be resetting the home point out in the open where it would be a safer landing and easier to recover.
