That's exactly what I can do with my T14. I have it in a vertical laptop stand on the table and to switch it on I only have to press the button on the docking station. It works without any problems.
For your laptop, two problems that need to be clarified:
- What kind of power supply does your laptop have? If it is a 65 watt power supply unit, then everything is OK. There is a matching 90W power supply for the docking station (it MUST have significantly more power!). If it's 100W, follow Lenovo's advice: "An optional Slim Tip 135W power supply is required for 100W charging (PN: 4X20E50558 (US)/4X20E505xx)." -->

The device costs quite a bit more than other adapters like Satechi. But it's very robust and definitely won't cause any trouble. If it works, it is certainly a professional solution and everything else is just tinkering.
