How to identify the host element?

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.

For these rogue Tags, enable the leader momentarily, and it will be pointing to it's host.

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.
