RFE: some way to reference root in association

[jewzaam]

Instead of having to do a bunch of $parent for associations it would be nice to have something like $root that will just pop to the root of the document. Query I just wrote had 4 $parent in the rfield and it's just annoying.

Maybe we can add two keywords: $parent_entity: root of parent entity $entity_root: root of this entity

This is still confusing. What terms work to reference the "local" and "remote" entity instances? Parent and entity don't help me much. I think of parent in terms of the path and popping the stack.
