It's not clear exactly what you're asking for.
In a match pattern, all elements that are parents of a certain element type:
*[myTagName]
This will also work in a select pattern to find all elements that are
children of the current node and are parents of a certain element type.
In a select pattern to find all elements that are descendants of the
current node that are parents of a certain element type:
.//*[myTagName]
In a select pattern to find all elements anywhere in the document that are
parents of a certain element type:
//*[myTagName]
