Simulating a spacer in an html attribute

Summary:

Would it be possible to use an html commerce attribute to create a spacer? If yes, what would be the content of that attribute?

Content (required):

If I could use an html attribute that simulates a spacer, I could use it in hide rules to preserve attribute alignment when hide rules are active.

The spacer available in the UI designer is static regardless and throws things out of alignment when hide rules are on.
