Recursive navigation for derived property

[jnicholas330]

I am trying to create a derived property for use as a column in a generic table. The table source is an association of a particular stereotype. The target of the stereotype may be at various levels of containment. What I want to do is find out which container of a certain type it is in, so ideally I would use a metachain to traverse up to its owner, but as I said earlier, it may be one, two or three levels up before it gets to the container I'm interested in (a UML Component with the Subsystem stereotype applied). I am not sure how I could perform such a recursive search.
