JQuery / Sizzle selector to find the current parent of an element?

Question

Is there a way to get the selected element parent using only jQuery / sizzle CSS selectors?

I need to be able to get the parent when using jQuery, but I am unable to use jQuery('#myelement').parent(), since I get the selector as a string, and the "user" should be able to go back to the tree.

I do not see anything in the documents, so I wonder if it is documented or if there is a hack that I can use?
