Item Type expression to find item type property of a shape that is surrounding element.

We have to draw our wetland impacts to show them on our plan sheets. I would like to use item types to show what type of wetland we are impacting. Right now, I can only manually enter what type of wetland it is. This information is included as an item in the drawn wetland shape. I would like an expression that can grab that item type information in the wetland shape and populate that information in the item type property in the wetland impact shape. There's probably a way to do it with GetRelatedInstance, but I don't know much about that, and I'd rather not have to connect the two elements using rules (if that's required for that expression). I wish there were a way for the item type to identify that the shape it's attached to is within the limits of another shape and find the item type properties of that other shape.
