Is there an easy way How to find the central pointcentre of the area between two objects / shapes in Illustrator?

I'm wondering if there's any tool or method that I can use to determine where the midpoint is between any two objects in Illustrator.

To give a simple example, say I have a simple rectangle at the top of my artboard, and another at the bottom.

Simple Example

How can I find the exact centre of the area between those two objects?

Additionally, how can I find relative central points, such the centre of the area between the central points of each object?

Despite the simple example, I would also like to be able to apply this method to finding the centre point between any two objects, of any shape and placed anywhere on the artboard.

Is it possible with the native tools?

Could there be a plugin for this, or will I need to write a script myself?
