垂直对齐小页面标题（未使用子图）

Question

在水平对齐表格和图表后，我希望它们在标题顶部垂直对齐（见最后一张图片）。我找到了使用 subfigures 或 floatrow 包的解决方案，但这两种方法似乎都不合适。这是我目前的设置

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[labelfont=bf]{caption}
\usepackage[demo]{graphicx}
\begin{document}

\begin{minipage}[b]{.4\linewidth}
\centering
\includegraphics[width=140pt]{test}
\captionof{figure}{First image with very very very very very very very very long caption}
\end{minipage}
\hfill
\begin{minipage}[b]{.5\linewidth}
\centering
\begin{tabular}[b]{cc}\hline
            Table head & Table head \\ \hline
            Some values & Some values \\
            Some values & Some values \\
            Some values & Some values \\
            Some values & Some values \\
            Some values & Some values \\
            Some values & Some values \\ \hline
        \end{tabular}
\captionof{table}{table with short caption}
\end{minipage}

\end{document}

我希望它们像这样对齐，但使用不同长度的标题：
