Not really. The submenu in Draw and Impress contains commands like
.uno:LeftPara and .uno:RightPara which are text specific, while in Writer and
Calc it has commands like .uno:CommonAlignLeft and .uno:CommonAlignRight that
work with both text and shapes alignment.

A solution might be to implement those .uno:Common* commands for Impress, and
use them in the menu instead of the text and shapes specific ones. A downside
of this is that it will no longer be possible to set text alignment while a
shape isn't in a text edit mode, as those commands will align the shape itself,
and not its text (this isn't a problem in Writer, as there it isn't possible to
format a shape text unless it's in an edit mode). But that might be a good
tradeoff. Another headache is that the new commands won't show the keyboard
shortcuts that assigned to the text specific commands (see also Bug 101951).
And a solution like in Bug 95854 won't work here, as the text and the common
commands will do different things.

Another solution might be to move the shapes related menu item out of the
Format menu, into a dedicated shapes menu, like it was done in Draw.

A third possible solution is to rename that submenu to "Text Align" or
something like this (while making sure this renaming does not affect other
modules that use the same command).
