An even simpler method would be to introduce the special keywords 
"child" and "parent", which act like the keyword "selected" but work on 
members of selected objects (child) or objects of which the selected 
objects are members (parent), respectively.

You could then first select "type:relation key:value" and then, in a 
second step, select "type:way child".
