That sounds like a great idea. It only needs to move up and down a little. so it might be easiest to do using a solenoid and lever. A simple gcode post-processing script could be used to insert lift/drop commands into the gcode file to drive a solenoid. Just add lift after every retraction and drop just before extrusion restarts

Problem with a selenoid is that you may be very dependant of gravity. Stepper and small screw will be better and more precise in my opinion.

It doesn't need to be precise, it only needs to return to the same position each time. ...
