Measuring Distance from Point Mass to Polyline in Tracker

Hello everyone,
I am using Tracker to analyze a videos of cyclists, and I would like to measure the distance from the tracked point (Point Mass) to a reference line (Polyline) over time. The reference line represents the edge of the road.
I am wondering if there is a built-in way in Tracker to:
Automatically calculate the perpendicular distance from a Point Mass to a Polyline.
Store these distances as a new data column for plotting/exporting over time.
Has anyone solved this problem or can suggest a workflow to track distances relative to a line efficiently?
