Hi,

I need to find a way to print a specific node type. for example if i am searching for a node of type "string_literal"
and i want to assign its parent to a meta variable called $NODE_PARENT for example. but I don't want to limit the type of this parent i.e. it can be literally any type.

now for each of string node parents, the meta variable $NODE_PARENT hold the whole textual content of the node. however what i need to print is something like: $NODE x has parent of type "pair" for example, or type "arguments".

example rule:

language: java
id: extract-context
rule:
  pattern: $NODE
  kind: string_literal
  inside:
    pattern: $NODE_PARENT
    stopBy: end

message: $NODE -------> $NODE_PARENT

Note: ^ this is a very simple rule as an example. the actual rule(s) are targeting specific strings in a very large corpus of data where we use AST-Grep to easily extract these data. however we couldn't easily find any workaround this, so i appreciate your help:)

Thanks!
