descendedFrom("item")

Returns true if item is an an ancestor of the current note.

The item parameter must be quoted unless an attribute reference. Ways to define item.

Unlike the contains()/inside() pairing, there is no converse operator that looks for notes that are ancestors of item.

This replaces the legacy #descendedFrom query operator.
