Yes.

For that you'd need :matches(). There are several proposals for it, this is
mine:

    :matches($ol b) > li span.test:hover

where $ is ! or parentheses or :subject or whatever we decide the syntax for
"this is the subject of the selector" is.

:matches() is true if an element matches the selector it contains.
