Assign a length restriction attribute from one element to another using Xpath

Hi,

 

First of all, thanks to Paul for the illuminating article on length restriction. https://multifarious.filkin.com/2014/05/02/xml-length-restrictions/

In my case though, the attribute I want to use as length restriction rule for my translatable segments <target> is in another node like this:

 

<trans-unit id="01">

  <target>Text</target>

  <context-group name=" extract">

    <context context-type="x-length"> 10 PX </context>

  </context-group>

</trans-unit>

 

I know I can select the x-length attribute using this Xpath expression:

//context[@context-type='x-length']

 

But I can't figure out what to put in the "edit" and "advanced" tabs of the //target parser rule settings of my custom file type, so that the translatable segment picks up on the length restriction value and shows it the document structure column. I would very much like to be able to use the QA Checker length restriction option to check for this.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
