It appears as though you are asking if a parent selector exists in CSS3.

From my current understanding, it does not exist, but many would like it.

Please read the following

Parent Selectors in CSS: https://css-tricks.com/parent-selectors-in-css/[^]

But something may come in the next iteration of the CSS stardards (but I would not keep my fingers crossed on that one).
The :has Pseudo-Class, the Selector We've Been Waiting For: http://www.ericponto.com/blog/2015/01/10/has-pseudo-class-parent-selector/[^]

----------
If you can use a jQuery solution, you could look into the .parent and .has selectors.
jQuery .parent(): https://api.jquery.com/parent/[^]
jQuery .has(): https://api.jquery.com/has/[^]

I hope that tap means click event. So you need to handle click event for that control.

Select the td which has a span with id required. Then trigger the click event of this control.

$('td').find('span[id*="PostTime"]')
