How to identify the host for a hosted element?
For example, I have a framing tag which I moved from its original position and now I want to check which framing elements this tag is associated with.

Thanks CADastrophe, this is a great solution for this particular case.
However, this was only an example. Another scenario: floor hosted generic models, similarly I would like to ckeck where they are hosted.
For other elements, though, this is kind of obnoxious. Face-Based families will report their Host's Type under Properties, but that's it. I couldn't find a good way to identify a Floor or Wall-Hosted element's host. But if you delete the host, the dependent elements will also be deleted, so you can delete a floor and if the element in question vanished, you've identified the host. This not a good solution, so I hope someone else has a better method.
Sorry for the 4 years late reply but for other users with that doubt nowadays.
What I use to do is to select the element whose host I want to know, select Edit Work Plane and the actual work plane colors up.
