Your question is meaningless. Can you provide an example of what
you're trying to find out?
Not meaningless, just unclear. I am pretty sure what the OP is asking
is the kind of query you might make on, say, the selection. Or, say,
the result of
set theReference to some word of some document
and then get the containment hierarchy from there, the result would be
something like word 12 of document 2 etc.
Of course, the answer is basically 'no'. At least, not across
applications.
