UClass* UMyBlueprintFunctionLibrary::GetObjectParentClass(UObject* Object)
{
    return Object->GetClass()->GetSuperClass();
}

UClass * UMyBlueprintFunctionLibrary::GetParentClass(UClass* Class)
{
    return Class->GetSuperClass();
}

My usage, drag n drop swap between widgets, if widget is child of other widgets parent class.
Aka Left leg can swap with Right leg because they are both children of Leg_Base

UE5 has this more or less, but the node is called Class Is Child of, although you have to specify the class you’re looking for
