The only way I can think of doing this is to get the parent context
via associatedVoiceContext.  But you'd also need to be able to set the
context id directly, since staves usually have no name unless you know
you're going to use align(Above|Below)Context or \change.

\applyContext
#(lambda (ctx)
   (ly:context-set-property! ctx 'alignAboveContext
    (ly:context-id
     (ly:context-parent
      (ly:context-property ctx 'associatedVoiceContext)))))

Cheers,
