Currently in illustrator you have the option to align objects to Selction, Key Object, and Artboard. Since I've been using the software, and working heavily for print, I the need to align to bleed has always been necessary.
My request is to add a fourth option to align to bleed.
This is one way that you could do it by manually creating the trim marks.
Draw a rectangle about 1/4 inch outside the bounds of your artwork where you want the crop.
With the rectangle selected, choose Effects > Trim Marks. The rectangle will be selectable; the trim marks will not be selectable (although you could Expand Appearance to make them selectable).
You could now align any object to the rectangle.
