How about two items:
- "Set computational region from selected map(s)" will set the region
extents to include all selected maps, irrespective of type.
- "Align region to selected raster" will align the region to a single
selected raster

Just to be safe, I usually do this two-step adjustment: first set the
extents, then set and/or align to the resolution.
