Referencing parent(s) of labels
I'm trying to reference a label's parent so it outputs something like "Section, Subsection" or "Section, Subsection, Subsubsection". I've come close with smartref by doing the following:
usepackage{smartref}
addtoreflist{section}
newcommand{breadref}[1]{sectionref{#1}, fullref{#1}}
but this unfortunately only outputs the number of the section and not the name of the section. The documentation of smartref alludes to a byname option but doesn't seem to actually provide a working example of it, making it difficult to implement.
It seems like this should be an easy thing to do, and a useful thing at that, especially if subsections might move between sections making hard-coded references to parents a pain.
Any ideas would be appreciated.

Ideally, it would look like this:

@egreg I had a look at these packages but couldn't find what I was looking for. Think you could point me in the right direction or put together an answer?
