Create substitution parameter for parent of referenced element

I would like to be able to reference the parent of a element reference. As it currently stands, it is only possible to reference the original parent element of an element.

    With the AF SDK, we can find the set of parents for an element via property (though maybe obsolete) or method, so is seems like this should be possible to implement. Maybe the syntax could be similar to collection/filter syntax like that used of the reference elements of an event frame:
    Collection of EF ref. elements: .\Elements[.] is the primary ref. element of the EF.

    So maybe for the collection of element parents it could be like: .\Parents[.], which would be the primary parent of the element.
    The square brackets could accept all of the normal filters like @Name, @Template, etc.
