Jenkins - Wait for the manual step to finish in parallel with some automatic job

I'm trying to build the above 'delivery pipeline' using Jenkins.

enter image description here

Every job excluding "Manual Step" will run when upstream jobs end with success. My problem is that I cannot do 'join' between the two jobs (run "Manual Step" and "Auto Step" in parallel and wait for the 2 to finish sucessfully before "Final Step"). Is there any way to make this possible with Jenkins? Maybe some plugin?

This question is very similar to this one: How do I make a Jenkins job start after multiple simultaneous upstream jobs succeed?

But what I really want is to know if it is possible to parallelize two different types of jobs (jobs who run manually and jobs who run automatically).

Since it's been a time since I posted the question and it seems there is no elegant solution to the problem I'm going to share my work-around:

First, I edited the two jobs so that a new file is created whenever the Manual and Automatic Jobs finish successfully (1 file for each job).

Next, I put a validation on the 'Final Step' job to only run if the two files are created. If the two files are created, proceeds to the 'Final Step' job instructions
